Worklife with Adam Grant

NOTE

Strategic insights for success in chess and life

Respect your opponent and study them thoroughly to craft a winning plan. Embrace sacrifice and risk as necessary elements for success. Risk is part of the game, and not taking risks can be a risky strategy. View sacrifice as an investment, requiring patience and not expecting immediate returns. Consider balancing risks in different domains of life like a stock portfolio. Understand the power of mistakes as a principle for growth and improvement.
