that this simple fact is central to the leader’s
greatness.

 Leadership: Beginnings and Significance

 Where does leadership training start?

 It is always from the first source, you.
 According to Socrates, Aristotle, and other Greek
philosophers:
 Knowing one’s self is the first step to leadership greatness.
 In his book The Art of War, Sun Tzu, a famous Chinese
military tactician, wrote:
 “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the
result of a hundred battles.”
 The enemy need not be a person; it could be procrastination, bad
temper, bad peer influence, and so on. Winning life’s battles always
begins with knowing and understanding oneself a little bit more –
and today is a good day as any to start winning one’s battles in life.
 Act Now

 In the past five years or so, the buzzword for success

factor among students is “GRIT.” It is also called
determination, which is one major factor for success.
 Dr. Paul G. Stoltz, in his book, GRIT: The New
Science of what it takes to Persevere, Flourish, and
Succeed, defined GRIT as “the capacity to dig deep
and do whatever it takes – even sacrifice, struggle,
and suffer – to achieve your most worthy goals in the
best ways.
 4 Main Dimensions of GRIT

 Growth
 The tendency to seek and consider new ideas, additional
alternatives, different approaches, and fresh perspectives.
 Resilience
 The capacity to respond constructively and make good use of
adversities.
 Instinct
 The person’s gut-level capacity to pursue the right goals in the
best and smartest ways.
 Tenacity
 The degree to which one commits to a goal and persists in
achieving it.
 More about GRIT

 Apart from the four main dimensions, Stoltz also

identified two more significant aspects of GRIT:

 Robustness
 This is how well a person holds up over time, and the degree to
which one is worn down or becomes stronger in the face of
difficulties.

 Quality
 This is achieved when a person consistently and reliably
demonstrates their fullest GRIT in achieving his or her goals.
 More about GRIT

 It is not enough to focus on the four dimensions. You

should also look into the four capacities of GRIT.

 With the four capacities, GRIT can be optimally

defined to be “when you consistently and reliably
demonstrate your fullest, ‘goodest,’ smartest, and
strongest GRIT across all four capacities to achieve
your most worthy goals.”
