- Sunday Pick: How Adam Grant uses data and intuition to make life decisions | from WorkLife with Molly Graham
Most of us assume data-driven people make data-driven decisions. Not quite. Adam Grant has built a career helping others think more clearly — but when it comes to his own career, the most important calls he’s made didn’t have clear data behind them. So how did he decide? In this first episode of WorkLife with Molly Graham, Adam joins Molly to talk about how he actually navigates uncertainty — the four questions he asks before committing to any big project, what he calls “deliberate then dive”, and how he measures success when the numbers don’t tell the whole story.

- Why Only 2% Succeed: Adam Grant on Mindset & Mastery
In this thought-provoking (and, at times, totally surprising) episode on The Diary Of A CEO , Steven Bartlett and Adam Grant—the famed organizational psychologist and bestselling author—break down the truly mind-bending idea that only 2% of people reach genuine success. Wild, right? Well, Grant has data and insights to back it up, along with a perspective that’s as refreshing as it is unsettling. Grant doesn’t just analyze success like a scientist; he dives right into the raw, often overlooked qualities that lead some people to rise above the pack. It’s not what you’d think! They explore the hidden power of original thinking, the strange beauty of challenging everything you believe, and the somewhat contradictory idea that constantly questioning yourself might actually be the way forward. And Bartlett, always keen to keep it real, jumps in with his own stories, life lessons, and (sometimes offbeat) observations. So, what’s the formula? The episode uncovers how real success often involves “smart” risk-taking, building teams with a culture that thrives on questioning norms, and maybe a pinch of luck. But—here’s the thing—Grant throws in some surprising stats and science-backed strategies for getting to that 2% club, backed by examples you wouldn’t expect. Want to tap into these insights and break out of the mold? This episode is worth every second. For anyone feeling stuck, looking for a breakthrough, or just plain curious about what it really takes to stand out in today’s noisy world—this one’s for you. Catch the entire interview on YouTube: Adam Grant: 10 CRAZY Stats About Why Only 2% of People Become Successful! on The Diary Of A CEO channel.

- Adam Grant - The Potential of Your Potential
World leading organisational psychologists, Adam Grant is this week's guest in The Academy of Imperfection and honestly, we can’t believe how much ground the brilliant man managed to cover in this episode. I mean, sure, you might expect him to touch on the value of embracing our imperfections. Or perhaps he might explore imposter syndrome & the importance in believing in others' belief in yourself. Or how procrastination can actually be a creative force. Or maybe even some tips for those of us who have found ourselves languishing. All of this might seem pretty reasonable stuff to cover. However you might not expect a deep dive into the lessons learned from a junior olympic diving career or an actual magic trick! This ep covers it all…and much much more.

- PPP 400 | Celebrating Episode 400 with Adam Grant
Summary In this episode, Andy Kaufman celebrates the 400th episode of the People in Projects Podcast with special guest Adam Grant. They discuss Adam's new book, Hidden Potential , and the importance of assessing and unlocking potential in individuals. The conversation covers various topics, including keeping projects on track, the truth about hiring based on experience, a lesson Adam learned about feedback that he's a terrible writer, and overcoming criticism. Adam reflects on the past and future, including what he misses (and doesn't miss) about being Adam Grant in 2010 (when Andy and Adam first talked). Takeaways Assessing and unlocking potential is crucial in various aspects of life, and the judgments people make of our potential can have a significant impact. Perfectionism can hinder progress, and it is important to separate our identity from our work. The value of experience in hiring is often overestimated, and potential should be prioritized over years of experience. Saying no and setting boundaries is essential to avoid overcommitment and maintain focus on important projects. Even if initially difficult, receiving feedback can lead to valuable insights and improvements. A practical AI chatbot use case that Adam tries Expressing appreciation to those who have seen and nurtured our potential is important, and we should also assess the potential of others and encourage their growth.

- Unlocking Potential with Adam Grant & Building Community with Adam Neumann 10/25/23
House Republicans have settled (for now) on another nominee for Speaker: Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) . A bipartisan group of 42 attorneys general is suing Meta , alleging that its apps are addictive and aimed at their youngest users. Wharton Professor, author, organizational psychologist, and “Re: Thinking” podcaster Adam Grant discusses his new book, “Hidden Potential.” He shares his advice for unlocking talent in ourselves and others, and offers a different metric for measuring success. WeWork’s former CEO Adam Neumann is in Riyadh for Saudi Arabia’s Future Investment Initiative. Having grown up in Israel, Neumann shares his grief for his home kibbutz, among those attacked in the Israel-Hamas War , and explains the role business can play in building a community to contribute to peace. Plus, where are you most productive? Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman says remote workers are literally and metaphorically phoning it in.

- 259 - Think Again - Adam Grant (rebroadcast)
How to manage procrastination according to Margaret Atwood, how to work around your first-instinct fallacy, the upsides of imposter syndrome, the best way to avoid falling prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect, how to avoid thinking like a preacher, prosecutor, or politician so you can think like a scientist instead – and that’s just the beginning of the conversation in this episode with psychologist, podcast host, and author Adam Grant. In the show, we discuss both his new book – Think Again: The Power of Knowing What you Don’t Know – and his TED Original Podcast, WorkLife , in which he interviewed Margaret Atwood, the author of The Handmaid’s Tale, to learn how she deals with the constant allure of social media and streaming videos in a future where giving in to procrastination is easier than it has ever been. In the show, you’ll hear portions of that interview followed by a lengthy interview with Grant about his new book in this all-over-the-place, extensive exploration of how to rethink your own thinking.
