#INBOUND17: Adam Grant

Organizational psychologist and Wharton professor Adam Grant knows a thing or two about the many roadblocks to original, creative thoughts that tend to lurk within established organizations. He's aiming to change that culture, helping mavericks and organizations work together to create and innovate without falling back on the tried-and-true.

How can original thinkers present their new ideas in a way that resonates with decision-makers and convinces them to cast their doubts aside? How can managers encourage their teams to think creatively, without squashing ideas that are untested? Adam's literally an expert on all of this; he broke things down to their most basic levels, and demystified the ways in which we can all - bold thinkers and brand stalwarts alike - move forward with excitement.
