Adam Grant’s Post

A wise person has the courage to give up when they see it as the only way to move forward.

This... 🤔It has taken me decades to realise the value of #quitting - not as a sign of failure, but rather - as a means to choose a better option. 🥵I used to stubbornly cling to any choice I made long past its expiration date - be it in relationships, in my education, in choosing where and how to live, and definitely throughout my career. I would think that changing my mind about these choices was not an option, that I must stick with it. I would put myself - and my family - through turmoil. I have since learned that humans are the only species on earth that continue to pursue an option that no longer serves us all in the name of 'resilience' and 'stamina'. ugh. ˚˖𓍢ִ໋🍃✧˚.💚⋆ I have come a long way towards realising the power of quitting when it is time to go. Thanks Adam Grant for preaching truth and shedding some healing light on what we too often hide away in shame or guilt. On to the next big change for me... 🎯It's just like #behaviourchange where we have to continually monitor to make sure that our chosen #interventions are still working. Because things change, mindsets and situations shift - so too must our response to help address the #rootcauses - especially as these, too, shift. Have YOU ever stayed in a position, course, mindset too long? How did you finally make the necessary change or shift?

Being stubborn is part of being gritty. Extreme focus and commitment to a goal, making sure you are not easily dissuaded from it is mission critical ‼️ In most grit situations, the usual question falls on the quantity of grit - how much grit do you have? And though the intent is good, it is just HALF the equation. I believe, the more important thing to consider is the QUALITY of grit - is your grit smart or dumb? Is your grit good or bad? This is what I love about the GRIT Gauge Assessment by Dr. Dr. Paul G. Stoltz. It measures not just the quantity but also the quality of GRIT! ⛰️ it would always be good to know our grit capacity and where our grit tends to lean to as awareness is the key for change 🔎 Send me a message if you’d like to learn more about the assessment 👍🏼

Resilience involves adapting, bouncing back, and finding new paths. However, stubbornly clinging to a failing approach can indeed be rigidity. Knowing when to pivot is essential. Recognizing a losing battle and choosing to disengage isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Sometimes, the bravest move is to let go and redirect your energy elsewhere. True leadership isn’t just about stepping up; it’s also about knowing when to step aside. Serving the greater good means making tough decisions, even if it means relinquishing control.

It can be applied widely....
