What you'll learn

Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School, where students have rated him the top professor for seven straight years, and the author of bestsellers including Think Again, Give and Take and Originals. In Hidden Potential, Adam Grant argues that we put too much faith in natural talent and too little in the human capacity to grow. Drawing on research and on the stories of athletes, artists, students and engineers, he shows that what matters most is not where people start but how far they travel. The book moves from the character skills that drive learning, to the structures that keep motivation alive, to the systems that schools, teams and employers can build so that more people get the chance to rise.
