Gumption
This is another informal term that has different meanings according to your location, and North Americans and British people have unique usages for it. In the Southern context, however, it is used to describe a person with plenty of courage, resourcefulness, and initiative. A person with plenty of gumption is the kind that you want as a CEO of a business, or as an officer in a military group. Those with plenty of gumption are more likely to be promoted in a Southern business.
