How I Work: Summer Series
On today’s show, I speak to organizational psychologist, best-selling author and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, Adam Grant.
His books Give and Take, Originals, and Option B have sold over one million copies and have been translated into 35 languages. Adam has been recognized as one of the world's 10 most influential management thinkers, was named one of Fortune’s 40 under 40, and he also happens to be the host of one of my favourite podcasts, WorkLife which is a TED original podcast.
In this conversation, we cover a whole bunch of topics such as:
How to make email more bearable
How becoming a parent completely changed Adam’s way of working
How Adam approaches social media usage
How Adam starts every week
Why meetings kill productivity
The podcasts Adam is listening to and books he is reading
And a whole lot more.
You can sign up to Adam’s e-newsletter Granted (one of my faves!) here: https://www.adamgrant.net
