When GRIT is Not Enough: Reworking Mindset and Purpose for Easier Effort in Hard Times

Grit, that combination of passion and perseverance, can take you from zero to hero in pursuit of those big, challenging goals worth pursuing. Gritty people, be they athletes, coaches, or corporate C-suiters, thrive best when the road ahead is clear and plans make sense. In times of uncertainty and change, however, grit may not be enough; in some circumstances, it can even be counterproductive. This book is for those times. 

In this book, you will learn:

•To recognize when you are overindexing on grit; 

•How to build a more agile mindset that sustains through change;

•Why purpose trumps passion in times of uncertainty; 

•How being of service to others serves us in tough times; 

•When to quit, and when to “stick” with an effort; 

•How to clean up and smooth out your effort

In short, you will learn how to work with uncertainty and perform more effectively in ways that benefit you as well as those you lead and work with.
