Mindset and 'grit' are better predictors of success

This is the last of four articles on why we need to change our attitude towards failure, celebrating the launch of my new company PeakFlow.Zone and the anniversary of the publishing of a book I had a hand in writing: Enabling Genius: a mindset for success in the 21st century. The first article covered the personal and organisational benefits of flow. The second article outlined the organisational benefits of embracing failure. The third article focused on the global impact of the scientific method. This final article focuses on the personal characteristics of ‘grit’ and mindset.
