Adam Grant brings insights to Vistage for a member-exclusive event

Throughout his career as an organizational psychologist, speaker, and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant has focused on exploring the science of motivation, generosity, original thinking and re-thinking. This thought leadership has led him to become one of the world’s 10 most influential management thinkers.

That journey continued in August when Vistage hosted Grant for an exclusive community event. Grant offered ways for business owners and leaders to identify and harness the power of “knowing what you don’t know.”

Grant has been the top-rated professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania for 7 straight years. As an organizational psychologist, he is a leading expert on how we can find motivation and meaning, re-think assumptions, and live more generous and creative lives. He has been recognized as one of the world’s 10 most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50 and Fortune’s 40 under 40.
