Today, with inspiration from one of his 30 core books, we continue with our Wisdom on Development series with Tsun-yan, where he brings alive gumption using two difficult times in his life. The risk of almost failing Harvard Business School helped him uncover lots of resourcefulness in himself, whereas the second story has no such happy ending but made him swear never to judge prematurely again. He finishes by sharing how to overcome “gumption” traps so we can all uncover more of the spirited initiative and resourcefulness that is the fuel of being at our best and win at life and work.
