Myers Briggs Personality•People and things (Extraversion or "E"), or ideas and information (Introversion or "I").•Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and potential (Intuition or "N").•Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and relationships (Feeling or "F").•A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P").
Grit Scale 1 is lowest, least likely to have these traits5 is the highest, most likely to stick with goals•Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals.
• Grit isn’t talent. Grit isn’t luck. Grit isn’t how intensely, for the moment, you want something.
•An “ultimate concern”–a goal you care about so much that it organizes and gives meaning to almost everything you do.
•Grit is holding steadfast to that goal. Even when you fall down. Even when you screw up.
•Talent and luck matter to success. But talent and luck are no guarantee of grit.
•Grit predicts achievement in really challenging and personally meaningful contexts.
Developing grit is all about habitually doing the things that no one else is willing to do. There are quite a few signs that you have grit, and if you aren’t
doing the following on a regular basis, you should be.• 1. You have to make mistakes, look like an idiot, and try again, without even flinching. the most successful
entrepreneurs put no time or energy into stressing about their failures as they see failure as a small and necessary step in the process of reaching their goals.
• 2. You have to fight when you already feel defeated. If you quit when things get tough, it gets that much easier to quit the next time. On the other hand, if you force yourself to push through it, the grit begins to grow in you.
• 3. You have to make the calls you’re afraid to make. Sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to do because we know they’re for the best in the long-run. People that learn to habitually make the tough calls stand out like flamingos in a flock of seagulls.
• 4. You have to keep your emotions in check. Negative emotions will challenge your grit every step of the way. When you let your emotions overtake your ability to think clearly, it’s easy to lose your resolve.
• 5. You have to trust your gut. There’s a fine line between trusting your gut and being impulsive. Trusting your gut is a matter of looking at decisions from every possible angle, and when the facts don’t present a clear alternative, you believe in your ability to choose; you go with what looks and feels right.

WHAT ABOUT THE RESULTS DO I BELIEVE MATCHES WHO I AM?
IN WHAT WAYS DID MY RESULTS NOT MATCH WHO I AM?
DO YOU THINK YOU IDENTIFY WITH ANOTHER RESULT FROM ANY OF THE TESTING?
WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT YOUR RESULTS
LEADERSHIPwhat makes a leader?
DEFINED:
• leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.
• the leader is the inspiration and director of the action.
• A leader steps up in times of crisis, and is able to think and act creatively in difficult situations.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A LEADER?
LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP:• 1. Talk less, listen more. The leader’s job is to pay attention to
what other people say, especially those who think their views don’t count.
• 2. Don’t step in with solutions too quickly. No-one learns anything new if you keep doing what you already know how to do, and don’t allow others to try
• 3. Be authentic, passionate, even emotional, about what you believe in.
…• 4. Don’t ‘dis’ downwards. Your job as leader is to get others to believe
in, and work towards, a shared goal, not to divide opinion or loyalties.
• 5. I’m OK: You’re OK. Start from the position that everyone is doing the best they can, then look for ways to support and encourage them – which is so much more rewarding than finding fault.
• 6. Don’t be the smartest person in the room. Being a leader does not mean knowing more than anyone else. Recognize, encourage and promote others as experts.
…• 7. Sense of purpose. Help them develop a broad understanding of the
team’s purpose, and faith in how their role contributes to the whole.
• 8. Being right isn’t enough. A great idea is of no consequence unless you can convince others to believe it too, and then persuade them to help you make your idea a reality.
• 9. Focus on a few things that really matter and where you can make a difference.
• 10. Get out and about, and in the work. It’s hard to retain that sense of what the job’s really about when you are sitting in your office.
