Here are 7 that will help you think better and be happier:

Working from home 2 days a week is good for people and organizations.

Experiment: 1600 people, 6 months. Being randomly assigned to 3 days onsite (vs. 5):
-Quitting down 35%, sick days down 12%
-Increased satisfaction
-No cost to performance or promotions

The future is hybrid.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The person who makes you smarter isn't always the smartest one in the room. Often it's the most curious one in the room.

"Why do we do that?" leads you to question old assumptions. "What if?" opens your eyes to new possibilities.

Inquisitive people are catalysts for learning.

Secretariat, the Belmont Stakes, 1973. If you know, you know. If you don’t, sit your ass down and watch the fastest horse god ever put on this planet do something you’ll never forget.

Gregg Popovich is 8 wins shy of becoming the winningest head coach in NBA history.

It’s rumored he’ll retire this year after 26 seasons and 5 championships.

11 leadership lessons from a quarter century of Pop:🧵

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Leadership is not boasting about what you know. It's having the confidence to admit what you don't know.

You don't need to assure people that you have all the answers. They just want to know that you're committed to finding a solution—and capable of guiding a group toward it.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

From afar, we admire talent. Up close, what counts most is character.

You can impress people with your skills, but you earn their trust by standing for something greater than yourself.

There is no higher achievement than treating others kindly and living with integrity.

Born on this day the brilliant #MichelPetrucciani arrived Big Sur in Jan.1981&disrupted my retreat from public life. As the Elders had done for me I wanted to help M establish a foothold on the world stage.I left my mountain for 2 years until his foothold was clearly established

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

One of the reasons so many problems go unsolved is that people don't like the solution.

Solution aversion is the tendency to ignore something broken when you're not a fan of the proposed fix.

The first step in solving a problem is building consensus that it exists—and matters.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In consensus cultures, arguments are attacks on sacred beliefs. People take offense at dissent and dismiss those who dare to disagree.

In learning cultures, arguments are tools to sharpen ideas. People invite dissent to enrich their thinking and agree to keep disagreeing.
