"It is not native intelligence or natural talent that makes people excel, say Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval it's old-fashioned sweat equity and hard work. And that claim is backed up by new research from MacArthur Fellowship Award winner and University of Pennsylvania psychologist Angela Duckworth, among others. Not everyone is blessed with exceptional intelligence, or wins the gene lottery. But the good news is that you can excel beyond your wildest dreams in your career and your personal life success is within your grasp through the right attitude and determination. The authors personally know of what they are writing about. They grew up in the Bronx, with no money or connections. But through dint of hard work and perseverance, they have risen to the top of the advertising world, as CEO and president, respectively, of the Kaplan Thaler Group and Publicis US, creating and orchestrating world-famous advertising campaigns such as the AFLAC duck and Clairol Herbal Essences. In their meetings with executives from around the world, they have seen first-hand the power of grit in helping women and men advance in their careers. In Grit to Great, they offer a rich narrative from the front lines of business on the impact determination and hard work have on getting ahead, whether you are an entry-level new hire or a seasoned veteran eager to advance your career. Written in an entertaining and compelling fashion, they offer a wealth of strategies and research on how to turn potential into performance, and how to compete and win against anyone, no matter how smart or connected they may be. It turns out there is a secret to success and it's one each and every one of us has complete control over. This book shows you how to really get ahead. So, let's get to work. "
