I've researched the idea of mental toughness extensively and teach it as my primary tool for success in coaching High School Girls Basketball. What is mental toughess (or what's now referred to as "Grit")?
It's character traits that enable success - like a positive attitude, a winner's mentality, proactivity, intiaitive, self-motivation, resilience, ability to overcome adversity, ability to accept constructive criticism/feedback and strive to continually improve (as Covey called it - sharpening the sword).
I recommend my clients dig into these character issues in every interview at every level. Here's an article on resilience I thought was interesting, especially this quote:
"40% of global respondents reported low levels of personal resilience and were at risk of ‘occupational burnout"
How do you build mental toughness/grit among your teams, especially since it's one of the core elements of high-performing teams.
