Project managers need grit. Yes, there is a certain amount of mental toughness that gets a project manager through the doldrums of most projects. There are times when the project stalls, loses support, looks like it will never be done, and may even fail. Successful project managers know that this is the time to refocus on the project and push through. They got to have a certain amount of stick-to-it-itiveness to see the project to completion.
Grit is an interesting concept. There has been much talk about the concept of grit lately. Recently, I heard an interview with Angela Duckworth about grit.
Check out this Ted talk from Angela Duckworth:
