According to Angela Duckworth, author of the book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, grit is the passion and sustained persistence applied to long term achievement. Grit combines resilience, ambition and self-control in the pursuit of goals. These goals can take months, years or even decades to achieve. Grit is the one of the key ingredients of long-term success. It is also a key differentiator in a person's ability to cope with and ultimately thrive when facing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, according to our research.

Check out this brief excerpt from our book, Mindset Wizardry - the Magic Behind Thriving in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) World and if you are interested in going deeper on the topic of Grit, check out Angela Duckworth's work. Her book and "How Gritty Are You" assessment are excellent.
