Leaders are taught that being tougher is the key to overcoming any challenge. But what does it mean to be tough? For many, that may mean hiding your fears, insecurities, or weaknesses no matter what you’re up against. It’s the idea that rolling up one’s proverbial sleeves, putting in more hours, or grinding it out is the only way to get what you need.

But is that really true? That the key to toughness and, therefore, success for leaders comes down to who can hold on tighter? We don’t think so, and neither does the author, performance expert, executive coach, and runner, Steve Magness.

Today on the podcast, Brian and I will discuss his latest book, “Do Hard Things,” why we get resilience wrong and the surprising science of REAL TOUGHNESS.”

We’ll share a brief overview of this book, give a couple of our biggest takeaways, then share a few tips to help you better understand toughness and how you can apply that to your leadership and do Hard Things.
