Adam Grant gave a talk at the TED2016 conference on “the surprising habits of original thinkers.” We’ve embedded the full presentation in the video above—what do you think?
According to the TED blog, Grant has found that “originals aren’t the type-A overachievers you might think they’d be. Instead, they’re nonconformists who feel doubt and fear, have bad ideas…and procrastinate.”
Grant elaborates further on this topic in his recently published nonfiction book, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World. To hear more from this psychologist and author, follow these links to listen to two more of his talks: “always wear dark suits” and “the power of powerless communication.”
