The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B.
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becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions.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 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.

While I am embarrassingly blanking on his name right now and unable to locate it on this particular page of the Audible app (note to developers: maybe leave the book info and voice info in an easily accessible spot on the review page for easier and more consistently accurate referencability [apparently I made the word “referencability” up, but I am leaving it because I think we can agree that it SHOULD exist, mostly just to be able to use it in Scrabble when I have too many vowels) the Vocal Artist is, in my subjective opinion, one of the best ones on Audible, so two thumbs up for him as well, because that plays no small part in the satisfaction that comes from an all around excellent book experience!
Engaging, educational, and immediately applicable!
