Last week in our office, we were able to discuss with the team the main takeaways from Jon Gordon’s book. We came up with the conclusion that genuine leaders strive for excellence, and obviously have an optimistic approach about the future. It’s not like they are trying to reach excellence at all times, but they also don’t discard it as well in their daily goals.
This is best illustrated in the following quote:
Positive leaders are humble and hungry.
Positive successful leaders are cognizant of their lack of knowingness and are more than willing to broaden their horizons and be curious about what they can accomplish and learn. That’s what defines both humbleness and a non-stop thirst for expansion in any way possible.
If we take a critical look at some of the world’s top companies, brands and their organization, we’ll see a definite pattern; all of them have a distinct culture that guides their efforts, both individual and organizational. Success is based only on merit, and bad misconduct is punishable.
If you are attempting to build a business, or any kind of organization, you’ll need a winning team which can abide by similar principles. You need contacts forged in the fire of struggle and common goals so all the team is on the same page.
Only then you can bring your organization to the next level, and preserve the fire burning and intensity!
So according to Jon Gordon, grit is what makes all the difference. It represents the real bulwark for success and prosperity in every regard. Make it happen
