What defines Romanian Leaders?
Which are the main traits and lifestyles of the Romanian leaders?
What habits do they adopt, what type of personality and what values do they posses?
Moreover, is there a link between talent, GRIT, passion and potential for success in leaders?
All of these were determined by MKOR Consulting in a qualitative study, conducted in July 2017, on a sample of 639 leaders: 345 entrepreneurs and 294 business and NGO managers (with at least one subordinate).
Measuring on the GRIT Scale – for the first time in Romania
One of the most ingenious aspects analyzed by MKOR in this study is the prediction of success for Romanian leaders and to what extent their traits, habits and values are related to their own success in life and in business.
To secure these insights, we used for the first time in Romania the GRIT Scale, an instrument developed by Angela Duckworth, academic and psychologist. The scale is a tool used to predict achievement: GRIT and self-control.
Perseverance, talent, passion – crucial traits for the success of Romanian leaders
More than 70% of leaders responding to the MKOR study believe that perseverance is the main required trait to be successful in business.
They are not wrong at all. The success formula developed by Angela Duckworth states that:
Talent x Effort = Skill
Skill x Effort = Achievement
Tenacity matters greatly because, as she explains, “effort counts twice”. This was further confirmed in MKOR’s qualitative analysis.
