What this episode covers

Organizational psychologist and author Adam Grant joins Guy Raz to discuss his book 'Hidden Potential,' arguing that character skills developed early in life are more predictive of success than innate genius. Grant shares frameworks for overcoming ego, leveraging the 'Tudor effect' by teaching to learn, and redesigning workplace systems to reward collaboration over individual narcissism. He also introduces the 'reflected best self portrait' exercise as a tool for individuals to uncover their hidden strengths through the eyes of others.
