| hbr's 10 must reads 2019: Grit Angela Duckworth, 2016-05-03 In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal). |

Trust is the basis for all that we do as leaders and as organizations. Employees who trust their employers are more productive and creative. Businesses that earn their customers' trust maintain better relationships and reap better results. Meanwhile, breaches of trust between companies and the public are becoming more frequent—and more costly. If you read nothing else on trust, read these 10 articles. We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you build, maintain, and repair trust, both as a leader and as a company. This book will inspire you to: Develop trust through competence, legitimacy, and impact Understand the neuroscience of trust Follow through on your commitments to stakeholders Negotiate better with an untrustworthy counterpart See your company through the eyes of your customers Rebuild relationships after a breakdown of trust This collection of articles includes Begin with Trust, by Frances X. Frei and Anne Morriss; The Neuroscience of Trust, by Paul J. Zak; Dig, Bridge, Collectively Act, by Tina Opie and Beth A. Livingston; Rethinking Trust, by Roderick M. Kramer; How to Negotiate with a Liar, by Leslie K. John; The Enemies of Trust, by Robert M. Galford and Anne Seibold Drapeau; Don't Let Cynicism Undermine Your Workplace, by Jamil Zaki; The Trust Crisis, by Sandra J. Sucher and Shalene Gupta; Customer Data: Designing for Transparency and Trust, by Timothy Morey, Theodore Theo Forbath, and Allison Schoop; Operational Transparency, by Ryan W. Buell; and The Organizational Apology, by Maurice E. Schweitzer, Alison Wood Brooks, and Adam D. Galinsky.
