Wharton’s Adam Grant on Selflessness, Creativity, and Resilience
Adam Grant is no stranger to revolutionary ideas. In fact, some consider he is somewhat of a revolutionary. As Wharton’s youngest ever tenured academic professor (he received his at the ripe old age of 28), Grant has evolved to become one of the country’s leading thinkers in management and organizational psychology.
He is also, as his New York Times byline states, “a former advertising director, magician and junior Olympic springboard diver.”
After receiving a B.A. from Harvard and a Master’s and Ph. D. from University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, he accepted an invitation from UNC Chapel Hill as an Assistant Professor. Grant’s academic papers received wide attention, propelling him to an associate professorship in 2009 and his later tenured professorship at Wharton.
