LinkedIn presents.

I'm Rufus Griskam and this is the next big idea.

Today, how smart leaders make it easier to get things done. We have something special for you today, a conversation between two of the world's

leading organizational psychologists. The first is someone you may recognize the legendary Wharton professor and

best-selling author Adam Grant, who is one of our four curators here at the Next Big Idea Club.

The second is another heavyweight in the field, Bob Sutton.

In his 40 years on the Stanford faculty,

Bob co-founded the University's Center for Work, Technology,

and Organization, the Stanford Technology

Ventures program, and the Haso Plattner Institute of Design, better known as

the D School. He also found time to write best-selling books including The No-Ass-O-rule and scaling up excellence.

Here's Adam to tell you more.

Hey next big idea listeners, it's Adam Grant.

As you might know, every season my friends Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Kane, Dan Pink

and I hand pick our two favorite new non-fiction books.

And then the Next Big Idea Club sends them right to your door.

This season one of our picks is the Friction Project, how smart leaders make the right things

easier and the wrong things harder by Bob Sutton and Huggy Rao. I recently had Bob

on my podcast, Rethinking, and we're sharing it here as well for you. I think

you'll enjoy it.

The LinkedIn Podcast Network is sponsored by TIAA. TIA makes you a retirement promise, a promise of a

guaranteed retirement paycheck for life.
