Advance Praise for The Grit Factor : "If you aspire to become an outstanding leader, this book is a must-read." Amy McGrath, Lieutenant Colonel, US Marine Corps, Retired; candidate (2020), US Senate (D - KY) "I wish the working world was such that we didn't need The Grit Factor , but we do need it. With a jillion books out there on leadership, this one is truly one of a kind, a giant and unique step forward. I can imagine it dramatically changing thousands of lives. And though men are not the primary audience, we can all learn from the amazing stories and practical steps laid out here in plain English. Bravo, Shannon Polson!" Tom Peters, coauthor, In Search of Excellence "Shannon Polson's story and the stories of the remarkable military women she profiles, as well as the essential leadership principles and techniques these stories illustrate, will inspire and instruct new generations of leaders in any context. A must-read." General Charles C. Krulak, US Marine Corps, Retired, 31st Commandant of the Marine Corps "With compelling and page-turning stories of resilience and adaptability, The Grit Factor is a groundbreaking book about women who took on the stereotypes and blew right past them. Practical, accessible, and inspirational, this is the leadership book we've been waiting for." Sydney Finkelstein, professor, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth; bestselling author, Superbosses ; host, The Sydcast "The hard truth is that we have a long way to go before women are treated equally, at work and elsewhere. Until then, we need The Grit Factor . Shannon Polson has it, and she showcases it in the inspiring and instructive stories of these amazing women leaders." Tina Morris, Chief Operating Officer, S&P Global Ratings; US Army veteran

Synopsis
What does it take for women to succeed in a male-dominated world? The Grit Factor. At age nineteen, Shannon Huffman Polson became the youngest woman ever to climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America. She went on to reach the summits of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Kilimanjaro and spent more than a decade traveling the world. Yet it was during her experience serving as one of the Army's first female attack helicopter pilots, and eventually leading an Apache flight platoon on deployment to Bosnia-Herzegovina, that she learned the lessons of leadership that forever changed her life. Where did these insights come from? From her own crucibles of experience--and from other women. In writing The Grit Factor , Polson made it her mission to connect with an elite pack of tough, impressive female iconoclasts who shared with her their candid stories of combat and career. This slate of decorated leaders includes Heather Penney, one of the first female F-16 pilots, who was put on a suicide mission for 9/11; General Ann Dunwoody, the first female four-star general in the Army; Amy McGrath, the first female Marine to fly the F/A-18 in combat and a 2020 candidate for the US Senate--and dozens of other unstoppable women who got there first, including Polson herself. These women led at the highest levels in the most complicated, challenging, and male-dominated organization in the world. Now, when positive role models of women leading are needed as never before, Polson brings these voices together, sharing her own life lessons and theirs with storytelling flair, keen insight, and incisive analysis of current research. With its gripping narrative and relatable takeaways, The Grit Factor is both inspiring and pragmatic, a book that will energize and enlighten current and aspiring leaders everywhere--whether male or female., What does it take for women to succeed in a male-dominated world?

These women learned to lead at the highest levels in the most complicated, challenging, and male-dominated organization in the world. Now, in the post-#MeToo era, when all women can break through the barriers to lead, and when all of us are looking for inspiration and guidance to change institutional progress, Polson brings these voices together, sharing her own life lessons and theirs with storytelling flair, keen insight, and incisive analysis of current, relevant research. With relatable takeaways like "your story is your strategy" and "push through the pushback," The Grit Project is both inspiring and pragmatic, a book that will motivate current and aspiring leaders everywhere--whether male or female.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAwesome seller. Books arrived faster than I expected. The books were packaged very well and are in great condition. The seller's description of the books was right on the mark. The books were reasonable priced and I also appreciated the seller telling me where he got them from. I'm very happy and would definitely buy off this seller again.
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI did not get the item, the Post Office misplaced or lost it. But since they lied and said that the item was "Delivered/Picked Up" NOT, there is really nothing I can do about it, and it is not the Seller's fault. He did his part, USPS, as usual, did not - and no surprise there at all. I won't be buying from eBay indefinitely because buyers get short shrift here. Terrible experience all in all, and I have zero recourse.Reply from: apogee-perigee- Feedback replied by seller apogee-perigee.- Feedback replied by seller apogee-perigee.Bizarre Case. I requested search but USPS says that buyer picked up item at the post office so case is closed. Yet buyer states he/she never received item. What the heck ..?? I can not claim insurance as it shows delivered. Will keep trying
