"Originals: How Non-Conformists Move The World" by Adam Grant - where was this book when I was a new dad or a brand new manager. There is a quite a bit I can still apply - but wow! what could have been if I had known some of this information years ago.
"Originals" takes an in-depth look at creativity. Packed with anecdotal insights as well as science-based study results, Grant looks at not only historical figures but modern day 'legends' to determine what ignited them, enabled their insights, generated their actions. He exposes several incorrect assumptions we all have that are not creating the behaviors we expect.
Not a challenging read. It is a thoughtful one. [4/5]
