Today, we explore mental toughness as a learnable skill rather than an innate trait, examining how grit separates winners from losers in the high-stakes data center industry and what it takes to build this capability in yourself and your teams.
In this recording, we'll review:
- Why talent counts, but effort counts twice - and how grit intersects with natural ability
- The critical difference between endurance (holding on) and grit (embracing the challenge)
- How mental toughness can become a mask that does more harm than good when misapplied
- Why being "comfortable being uncomfortable" is the foundation of the Empirix culture
- How uncomfortable transparency and direct feedback build grit in teams
- Why maintaining zero difference between internal and external performance standards matters
- The partnership element of mental toughness - you can't do it alone
And much more.
