Welcome to Lead On
A magazine about grit and resilienceWhat’s this?
Leading yourself and leading others are two of the hardest things you’ll do. As Kevin Costner said in Bull Durham:
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.
When we fail, can we learn how to bounce back? Yes.
Industrial Psychology has a lot to say about this with traits like resilience and grit. Being resilient and having grit aren’t talents bestowed on you at birth. You grow them. You build them.
Read Lead On to find insight, resources and tools, and stories about people who learn how to get grittier. We have a lot more choice than we realize in how we start – how we begin again – after a stop.
Lead On.
