Adam Grant · TED · Video · Entrepreneurship and Start-Up
In this talk, Adam Grant shares insights from studying “originals,” or nonconformists who drive creativity and change by championing new ideas. Using the example of passing on an investment in Warby Parker, Grant explains how procrastination, doubt, and having many bad ideas are often key traits of successful originals. He encourages embracing procrastination and the fear of failing to try, as well as generating a high volume of ideas, as these practices can lead to greater creativity and innovation.
