Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance



Never give up. Resilience. Perseverance. You have probably come across these terms before and may have wondered what's so special about grit? Well, all these terms are merely components of grit, as grit encompasses much more. Made popular by the author Angela Duckworth in her book 'Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance', the workforce and leadership positions of the present era demand a sense of grit that was perhaps lacking in the past.

Ang Hui Ming, Co-Founder of Leaderonomics talks about what grit is, how to identify it, and how to build it as she dives deep into the meaning of grit as defined by Caroline Adams Miller; executive coach, motivational speaker and author of the book 'Getting Grit: The Evidence-Based Approach to Cultivating Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose'.

40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s

In this leadership analysis, Roshan Thiran reviews Daniel Pink's viral video, "40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s," and reframes its core lessons as a practical guide for today's leaders. Moving beyond simple life advice, he identifies three primary themes essential for building effective and compassionate teams: - The People Principle: Why culture, based on the "No Jerks" rule and the "Love Wins" philosophy, is a leader's primary responsibility. - The Action Principle: How a bias for "doing," persistence, and consistency—a "Gospel of Doing"—ultimately beats strategy and planning. - The Humility Principle: Why the combination of humility and curiosity is the engine for all personal and professional growth. This article simplifies 40 powerful concepts into an actionable framework for anyone looking to build better teams and become a better leader.
