How Quitting Can be Your Competitive Advantage

How Quitting Can be Your Competitive Advantage

Remember when Liz Truss proclaimed «I’m a fighter, not a quitter» (only to resign a couple hours later)? Quitting usually gets a bad rap, people who quit are seen as weak, lacking resolve and perseverance. In a new book (and here in an interview), Annie Duke makes the case for how knowing when to quit is a superpower. (Though, I should advise, this doesn’t mean that being Liz Truss is a superpower.)
