The Weekly Take from CBRE

Challengers: Adam Grant on questioning conventional wisdom and making better decisions


Listen Later

Wharton organizational psychologist and New York Times-bestselling author Adam Grant shares insights on making better business decisions, fostering innovation and how your personal "challenge network” can lead to superior products and delight your customers.


Share these insights on how to be a successful leader:

 

1.    Encourage Humor and Humility: They help maintain a flexible and open-minded approach, making it easier to rethink and adapt.

2.    Have Pre-Mortems: Discuss as many potential failures as possible before launching. That way you can prevent or know how to handle problems when they occur.

3.    Eschew Best Practices for Better Practices: “Best Practices” implies there’s only one right way, while seeking “Better Practices” encourages people to innovate and try new things.

4.    Build a Challenge Network: Maintain a group of trusted critics who provide truly honest feedback to improve your decision-making.

5.    Reward Speaking Truth to Power: Encourage employees to ask questions, suggest improvements and challenge outdated ideas.
