“Character is your capacity to prioritize your values over your instincts.”
Adam Grant’s latest. Solid but not spectacular, although he set the bar high with his earlier books. Potential is about how far you can go, not the starting point. He approaches from multiple perspectives, including nature vs nurture, learning styles, maximizing feedback - "ask for advice not feedback, turn your critics and cheerleaders into coaches" - and how prosocial skills drive collective intelligence. The strongest leaders source the best ideas from their teams via listening. 4 stars.
