Adam Grant is a best-selling author and professor at the Wharton School. His new book Think Again, About the Value of Recognizing What We Don't Know offers a timely guide to skills that we need now more than ever. John and Kendall Antonelli are founders of Antonelli's Cheese Shop in Austin, Texas. From day one, they've offered employees something unusual for small retailers: health insurance.
