World Leading Psychologist: The 19 Words That Change How You Handle Criticism | Adam Grant

We're trying to to feed our egos as opposed to fuel our growth. That is where we begin today. I mean, what a quote, what a way to start an episode of high performance, as we welcome one of the most influential thinkers, Adam Grant, world-leading organizational psychologist to the show. This is a man whose work on leadership, mindset, and performance has shaped the thinking of the greatest leading CEOs, athletes and creatives around the world.

And I think the way I would describe this conversation, Damien, is this is a a kind of a very real look, if you like, at what high performance actually demands from a human mind and from a human being. Yeah, I'd say it's practical, pragmatic and incredibly profound. It shares how why the best performers build challenge networks and not echo chambers around them. It describes the difference between ego and growth and how you can spot which one's in charge and Why real loyalty isn't sitting in silence.

It's about being willing to give answers honestly. Oh, I love that. Look, if we've learned one big thing since we started this show, it's that real high performance should be sustainable, right? It should, of course, give you success if that's what you chase. But more than that, high performance should give you clarity.
