Adam Grant offers timeless lessons that are particularly relevant right now about the importance of taking a fresh look at your assumptions. He cites fascinating research about how overconfidence can blind us and why founders are prone to fall victim to this trap. It's an eye-opening explanation of why being open to learning is so important, even in post-pandemic circumstances.
