Angela Lee Duckworth – Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
A six-minute TED Talk by the writer and psychologist Angela Lee Duckworth. In it she introduces the concept of GRIT and asks the question: ‘What is it that predicts success in someone?’.
There are parallels with Carol Dweck’s work on the Growth Mindset and Duckworth mentions this in her talk.
This is well worth a watch and could provoke some useful discussion and further reading, e.g. her book: Duckworth, A. (2017) GRIT: Why passion and resilience are the secrets to success. Ebury Publishing
