Adam Grant's Hidden Potential explores how to identify and cultivate untapped abilities in individuals and teams. The book argues against an overreliance on innate talent, highlighting the significance of character skills, growth mindset, and opportunity in achieving success. Grant uses case studies and research to illustrate how systems, such as education and hiring processes, can either hinder or enhance the development of potential. He proposes practical strategies for individuals and organizations to foster growth,  overcome obstacles, and unlock hidden potential, emphasizing the power of deliberate practice, seeking discomfort, and building supportive relationships.
