TED Talk Tuesday: “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” – Angela Lee Duckworth

Hey Leaders,

What drives success, talent or perseverance?

Angela Lee Duckworth shows its grit: sustained passion + perseverance over time.

Her key message: consistency beats intensity.

Talent may open doors, but grit keeps you moving forward. As leaders, we don’t just practice perseverance—we build it in others by valuing effort, resilience, and growth.

Key takeaways:

Grit matters more than talent
Passion must be sustained
Discipline drives long-term success
Growth comes from pushing through challenges

Your challenge:

Pick one goal you’ve stalled on.

Ask: Am I relying on motivation or discipline?

Then take one consistent action this week.
