SYLLABUST Episode 2:0: Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
We're celebrating Women's History Month! In honor of the annual March observance, this episode of SYLLABUST focuses on one of the few well-known business books authored by a woman.
Dr. Angela Duckworth's 2016 title, GRIT, rocketed to number one on the New York Times Best Sellers list. Its research and conclusions about grit as an essential factor in success--resonate (and for some, rile!) to this day. What is grit? Who are "paragons of grit?" Why does grit matter? How can it be measured? How can it be grown in families, in cultures, and in organizations?
Dr. Duckworth is the daughter of Chinese immigrants and mother to two daughters of her own. She is a distinguished professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, a MacArthur fellow, and the founder and CEO of Character Lab--a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the science and practice of character development.
