<p>Most leaders are asking the same question about AI: Will it make their teams more productive&#8212;or slowly erode the very skills they&#8217;re trying to build? In this special episode, as part of the recent HBR Leadership Summit 2026, University of Pennsylvania&#8217;s Angela Duckworth says her long-standing research on grit&#8212;and the fact the most successful people aren&#8217;t simply persistent, they stay committed to long-term goals while adapting their tactics as the world changes&#8212;is more relevant than ever in the age of generative AI.

Duckworth&#8217;s new book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best.</p>
