Summary

If you're a human (and we hope you are), at some point you've looked back on a moment in your life or your business and groaned, "I wish I had done that differently." Well, what if there was a way to reduce those moments? The secret is to start thinking like a scientist. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant argues that challenging the way you think, treating ideas like theories, and being willing to unlearn is essential for positioning yourself to win in business and relationships - and for making better decisions! In this episode, Adam gives practical advice for staying mentally flexible, pivoting your business strategy, and becoming comfortable with doubt while still holding on to what you value. entreleadership.com/podcast Adam Grant's website Think Again by Adam Grant Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant The Reboot Podcast Adam Grant’s Instagram WorkLife with Adam Gran‪t‬ Difficult Conversations Checklist EntreLeadership Partners Schedule a call with Tim, the Producer Want expert help with your business question?
