With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a
landmark new paradigm for success but also established
himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and
provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses
the challenge of improving the world, but now from the
perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel
ideas and values that go against the grain, battle
conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices
without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business,
politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to
recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced,
build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act,
and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can
nurture originality in children; and how leaders can fight
group think to build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by
highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who
challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst
who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire
financial wizard who fires employees for failing to
criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in
comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about
rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.
