This episode dives into Angela Duckworth’s Grit, an insightful exploration of why passion and perseverance matter more than innate talent in achieving long-term success. Duckworth presents compelling research demonstrating that sustained effort over time leads to mastery, introducing the Grit Scale to measure an individual's commitment to their goals. We discuss key themes such as effort outweighing talent, deliberate practice, and the importance of deep, enduring passion, along with how grit can be cultivated in individuals, education, and leadership. While Grit has reshaped discussions on achievement, we also examine its broader societal implications and critiques. Join us as we unpack Duckworth’s influential framework and its impact on personal and professional growth.
