Think Again
"What skills are going to be the most desirable for the future? Adam Grant, an award-winning professor at the Wharton School of Business, uses research and stories from top leaders to demonstrate that the key to future success will be our ability to rethink our opinions, be open to not being right, and the courage to think again. Openness, flexibility and agility are going to be the most sought-after skills for business, organizations, and relationships.

Why do we refresh our wardrobes every year, renovate our kitchens every decade, but never update our beliefs and our views? Why do we laugh at people using computers that are ten years old, but yet still cling to opinions we formed ten years ago?
For too many of us, our ways of thinking become habits that we don't bother to question, and mental laziness leads us to prefer the ease of old routines to the difficulty of new ones. We fail to update the beliefs we formed in the past for the challenges we face in the present. But in a rapidly changing world, we need to spend as much time rethinking as we do thinking. Think Again is a book about the benefit of doubt, and about how we can get better at embracing the unknown and the joy of being wrong. Evidence has shown that creative geniuses are not attached to one identity, but constantly willing to rethink their stances and that leaders who admit they don't know something and seek critical feedback lead more productive and innovative teams.
