This podcast features an interview with Adam Grant, author of "Think Again," focusing on the importance of rethinking and updating one's beliefs. The conversation explores the challenges of rethinking (tied to identity and expertise), strategies for updating views (rethinking vs. overconfidence cycles), and building psychologically safe environments to encourage rethinking within organizations. Specific examples include the importance of process accountability over outcome accountability in hiring and the effectiveness of leaders criticizing themselves to foster psychological safety. Listeners gain practical advice on improving their decision-making processes and creating more open and learning-oriented cultures.
