About this ebook

This is a Summary of Adam Grant's Originals: Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World. The #1 national bestseller and New York Times bestseller that examines how people can champion new ideas—and how leaders can fight groupthink.

In Originals Adam Grant addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?
Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

Available in a variety of formats, this summary is aimed for those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the current time to devour all 335 pages. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer. This summary is not intended to be used without reference to the original book.

    Poorly read = poorly summarized. John Legend not Queen guitarist!
  • Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
    2/5
    If you’re just after a rough summary of the main points then this book might help, but I found the typos and grammatical errors distracting and tiring to read. The summary isn’t nearly as well-written or edited as the original.
