  • Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead?
    March 27, 2013 Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead? By SUSAN DOMINUS Just after noon on a Wednesday in November, Adam Grant wrapped up a lecture at the Wharton School and headed toward his office, a six-minute speed walk away. Several students trailed him, as often happens; at conferences, Grant attracts something more like a swarm. Grant chatted calmly with them but kept up the pace. He knew there would be more students waiting outside his office, and he said, more than once, “I really don’t like to keep students waiting.” Grant, 31, is the youngest-tenured and highest-rated professor at Wharton. He is also one of the most prolific academics in his field, organizational psychology, the study of workplace dynamics. Grant took three years to get his Ph.D., and in the seven years since, he has published more papers in his field’s top-tier journals than colleagues who have won lifetime-achievement awards. His influence extends beyond academia. He regularly advises companies about how to get the most out of their employees and how to help their employees get the most out of their jobs. It is Grant whom Google calls when “we are thinking about big problems we are trying to solve,” says Prasad Setty, who heads Google’s people analytics group. Plenty of people have made piles of money by promising the secrets to getting things done or working a four-hour week or figuring out what color your parachute is or how to be a brilliant one-minute manager. But in an academic field that is preoccupied with the study of efficiency and productivity, Grant would seem to be the most efficient and productive.

    Disrupt Yourself Podcast EPISODE 119: ADAM GRANT Welcome to the Disrupt Yourself Podcast. I'm Whitney Johnson. I think, write, speak and live all things disruption. My guest today is Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, Wharton professor, New York Times bestselling author and host of the WorkLife podcast with TED. Whitney: Adam Grant, welcome to the Disrupt Yourself Podcast. Adam: Thanks Whitney. Whitney: First question for you is where did you grow up and what did you want to be when you grow up? Adam: Uh, I grew up in the uh, Detroit Suburbs and I hated the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up (laughs) Whitney: (laughs) Adam: Because you know, first of all, I had all these unrealistic aspirations, like I want it to be a professional basketball player but you know, when you start high school at four foot nine and end up five foot nine, not that likely. Whitney: (laughs) Adam: And then, you know, after I got over some of those uh, pipe dreams, I realized I didn't want to be one thing, I wanted to do many things. And the idea of, you know, having to, to take on one career as my sole identity and you kind of get stuck in that, you know, in that one box, was incredibly limiting. And so, uh, I was, I was really undecided until, uh, I guess until the, right before I started my senior year of college, I had no clue what I wanted to be, let alone do. Whitney: All the way until your senior year of college you didn't know what you wanted to do? Adam: I was completely lost when it came to career.

  • Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
    MORE ADVANCE NOISE FOR QUIET “An intriguing and potentially life- altering examination of the human psyche that is sure to benefit both introverts and extroverts alike.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Gentle is powerful … Solitude is so- cially productive … These important counterintuitive ideas are among the many reasons to take Quiet to a quiet corner and absorb its brilliant, thought-provoking message.” —ROSABETH MOSS KANTER, profess- or at Harvard Business School, author of Confidence and SuperCorp “An informative, well-researched book on the power of quietness and the 3/929 virtues of having a rich inner life. It dis- pels the myth that you have to be ex- troverted to be happy and successful.” —JUDITH ORLOFF, M.D., author of Emotional Freedom “In this engaging and beautifully written book, Susan Cain makes a powerful case for the wisdom of intro- spection. She also warns us ably about the downside to our culture’s noisiness, including all that it risks drowning out. Above the din, Susan’s own voice re- mains a compelling pres- ence—thoughtful, generous, calm, and eloquent. Quiet deserves a very large readership.” —CHRISTOPHER LANE, author of Shy- ness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness 4/929 “Susan Cain’s quest to understand intro- version, a beautifully wrought jour- ney from the lab bench to the motiv- ational speaker’s hall, offers convin- cing evidence for valuing substance over style, steak over sizzle, and qualit- ies that are, in America, often derided. This book is brilliant, profound, full of feeling and brimming with insights.” —SHERI FINK, M.D., author of War Hospital “Brilliant, illuminating, empower- ing! Quiet gives not only a voice, but a path to homecoming for so many who’ve walked through the better part of their lives thinking the way they en- gage with the world is something in need of fixing.” 5/929 —JONATHAN FIELDS, author of Uncer- tainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance “Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that gives us startling new in- sights.
