Hidden Potential
by Adam Grant
Presented by: Robyn Tresnak
Fans of Adam Grant’s known works know he typically focuses on organizational psychology, the dynamics of success and motivation in the workplace, and how individuals can rethink and challenge their own beliefs and the status quo for personal and professional growth.
Serena Williams says “This work will shatter your assumptions about what it takes to improve and succeed. I wish I could go back in time and gift it to my younger self. It would’ve helped me find a more joyful path to progress.
Hidden Potential is a compelling exploration of how we often undervalue our ability to learn and grow, focusing too much on innate talent. Challenging the obsession with natural gifts, Grant argues that the key to progress lies not in inherent genius but in character development and the willingness to learn. Through a mix of evidence, storytelling, and insights, he takes readers on a journey from various walks of life, emphasizing that success is more about effective learning than sheer hard work. The book highlights the importance of building character skills and motivation to unlock our potential and creating systems that support those traditionally underestimated. Unlike other works that focus on the habits of already successful individuals, “Hidden Potential” offers a refreshing perspective: true potential is measured by the distance traveled, not just the peak attained, suggesting that greatness is within everyone’s reach.
