Organizational psychologist Adam Grant made the presentation below at the February, 2016, TED2016 on the surprising habits of original thinkers. Here’s what the TED post has to say about his presentation:
“How do creative people come up with great ideas? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies “originals”: thinkers who dream up new ideas and take action to put them into the world. In this talk, learn three unexpected habits of originals — including embracing failure. ‘The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they’re the ones who try the most,” Grant says. “You need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones.'”
