Adam Grant: Future leaders won't succeed without this key trait

Video Description

Big shifts must happen to ready teams for a work future that requires agile thinking and collaborating with emerging tech. Organizational psychologist, best-selling author and Wharton professor Adam Grant shares research-backed strategies that help develop leaders and work relationships across an organization as well as help teams practice critical soft skills like analysis and creativity that are often overlooked and undervalued. He explains why future workers will need to become “job crafters,” and the one trait leaders won’t be able to work without. He’ll also share what a college job as a magician taught him about engaging skeptics (and prompting critical thinking) and why he swears by keeping a “To-Don’t” list. This interview was recorded in January 2025 at the Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland About this episode: Adam grant: https://www.youtube.com/@adammgrant Future of Jobs Report: https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2025/ Related Podcasts: Meet The Leader - How leaders can prepare teams for the future of work: ADP’s Chief Economist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShvNPomJ4mE&t=508s Meet The Leader - Upskilling, tapping human talents, and what's really needed for the future of work: Cognizant CEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEfNr3mizBY The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
