Stoltz, PhD, has been researching success for more than 35 years, and he surveyed and evaluated thousands of entrepreneurs and executives. By an overwhelming margin, he says, one personality trait makes the difference between success and failure: toughness, or grit. \u201cGrit is tremendously predictive of entrepreneurial success,\u201d he says. \u201cIt determines both the magnitude of goals one sets and the likelihood of completing them.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Grit isn\u2019t just for entrepreneurs either:\u00a0<i>Grit also increases your odds of getting promotions and job offers. In one study, Stoltz asked corporate executives, \u201cIf you were hiring someone and had to choose between a person with perfect skills but weak grit and a person with exceptional grit but missing some skills, which would you pick?\u201d The vast majority picked the second option. Not only that, in a follow-up question, they said they would willingly trade eight or more normal employees for a single person with highly developed grit.<\/i>\u00a0And if you feel that your grit levels are in short supply, you can skill up on the four elements that make up the acronym GRIT: Growth, Resilience, Instinct, and Tenacity &#8212; or what he calls Grit 2.0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every employee or job applicant banks on a personal set of traits or qualities that they feel would help their chances of getting hired, promoted, and ahead.
