Last week during our CEO Summit, we had the opportunity to hear my partner Albert interview Angela Duckworth, author of the book Grit.
Angela is a Professor of Psychology at University of Pennsylvania and founder and Scientific Director of The Character Lab.
Angela has the ability to make complex concepts simple and combines her expertise in human behavior with a wicked sense of humor.
She is a great public speaker and everyone enjoyed hearing her talk to our group.
Her book Grit is about the power of perseverance.
It explains why some people have grit and how you can recognize it in people.
She also explains why grit is more important than talent in many cases.
If you hire and manage people, if you run start and run companies, if you invest in people and their projects, then Grit is a book you should read.
