A manager must prove they have a grit mindset. Some tips on how to build grit

In many ways, a team manager must serve as a role model to their subordinates. This concerns also their discipline and grit. A manager who wants to be an inspiring leader and have subordinates who are strong-willed and hard-working must first of all prove that they themselves have these attributes. This article looks at how you too can build a grit mindset and a sense of discipline.

Focus on solutions, not obstacles

As a manager (and generally as an effective worker), you should always focus not on obstacles but on solutions. You will thus show subordinates you are strong-willed by remaining calm even in critical and seemingly frustrating situations and by focusing on moving forward, instead of lamenting over the challenges you are facing.

Have long-term goals and work on them

You can only show you are disciplined if you work on achieving your long-term goals on a daily basis. Set up the targets you want to achieve, and stick to your plans. Even if you do not always succeed in fulfilling your daily plan, it is important to maintain your long-term motivation and keep moving forward.

Do not stay in your comfort zone

Having a strong will and remaining in your comfort zone without moving anywhere: that is easy. But a good manager should serve as a role model to subordinates by stepping outside their comfort zone,  educating themselves and not being satisfied with a less-than-ideal situation just because that way is simpler.

Keep a positive attitude

There's nothing to add here. A positive mood and staying on top of things are closely connected to strong will and grit. In a way, we are now returning back to the first point. Maintain a positive attitude and everything mentioned in this article will become much easier.
