What is the method for creative folk to develop great ideas? Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, spoke at TED on just this topic, addressing how ‘originals’ – thinkers who come up with new ideas and are able to implement them – go about their business.
He lists 3 main habits of originals that he has arrived at by studying them:
Originals are late to the party.
________________________________Originals are full of fear and doubt.
________________________________Orginals embrace failure.
Talking points:
You don’t have to be first to be the best.
________________________________On the surface, a lot of original people look confident, but behind the scenes they feel the same fear and doubt that we do.
____________________________________________________________________________________Originals know that the biggest regrets are not actions, but inactions.
