About the Author

Adam Grant is Wharton's youngest tenured professor and organizational psychology's leading voice who redefined how we think about success and potential.

Top-rated professor for seven straight years at University of Pennsylvania, Grant has written five New York Times bestsellers including Think Again (1 million copies) and Hidden Potential. His TED talks exceed 35 million views. Advises Google, Gates Foundation, and NBA teams. Hosts podcasts Re:Thinking and WorkLife with 50 million annual downloads.

What sets Grant apart: He practices "productive disagreement," teaching leaders to embrace being wrong as a path to breakthrough thinking—a radical departure from traditional confidence-based leadership.

Grant's research on givers versus takers transformed corporate hiring practices. Companies implementing his psychological safety frameworks see 47% higher employee innovation scores and 31% lower turnover.
