To Build Grit, Go Back to Basics

An interview with Shannon Huffman Polson by Curt Nickisch

Concepts like resilience and grit have been popular in recent years. Shannon Huffman Polson knows all about the kind of mental and emotional fortitude that so many experts say people need—but few people actually have. She was one of the first women to pilot the Apache attack helicopter in the United States Army, has launched a successful corporate and consulting career, and is the author of The Grit Factor: Courage, Resilience, and Leadership in the Most Male-Dominated Organization in the World.

In this interview, she discusses how to develop grit and how it has helped her advocate for herself as a woman in an industry of mostly men.
