Hidden Potential by Adam Grant

About the Book

We tend to believe that greatness is mostly the result of innate talent, and that people who reach the top of their fields have simply been blessed with more of it than everyone else. In Hidden Potential, organizational psychologist Adam Grant argues that this belief overlooks a critical truth: how far we travel in life is not merely a function of the talent we start with, but of how much we succeed in developing our skills and mobilizing our resources — a set of character skills that matter more than ability alone.

Drawing on original research, fresh insights from Wharton's Adam Grant, and captivating stories ranging from Fortune 500 companies to Olympic athletes, symphony orchestras to airplane cockpits, the book explores how a group of scrappy underdogs overcame their disadvantages, how a Broadway lyricist overcame his insecurities to craft a pathbreaking hit musical, and how a NASA engineer's dyslexia helped him design one of the most iconic instruments in history. Along the way, Grant offers a new framework for growth built around three critical ingredients — the skills of seeking discomfort, taking imperfect action, and drawing on other people — challenging readers to rethink how they learn, embrace discomfort, and unlock the hidden potential in themselves and others around them.
