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becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions.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.

meh

o início é bem informativo sobre procrastinação e tomada de risco em empreendedores mas o resto do livro pareceu meio q o início só que com mais ladainha??? a questão do ambiente familiar e da ordem de nascimento dos filhos influenciar o nível de “rebeldia” ou “criatividade” fez até sentido mas eu não conseguia entender se era um estudo só ou um compilado de vários estudos???

e a questão das empresas e culturas organizacionais de focar no problema, retirar a hierarquia e criticar pessoas abertamente ao invés de atrás de uma porta me pareceu meio ok mas como???? como q faz isso funcionar????????

sei lá meio meh mas da pro gasto tem uns exemplos de pesquisa interessantes e outros bem duvidosos
