Summary

In this in-depth discussion, Andy is joined by Eduardo Briceño, author of The Performance Paradox: Turning the Power of Mindset Into Action, to delve into the concepts of a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset. The conversation covers how these mindsets are not as binary or mutually exclusive as we may think, but rather can be found within us at different times and in different contexts. The theme of maintaining a balance between having a growth mindset, which holds the belief in the potential for change and improvement, and knowing when to lean into a fixed mindset, is explored. Eduardo advises on how to apply deliberate practice to improve performance and suggests viewing ourselves as evolving and changing.

Total Duration 22:44

Earn free PDUs while learning how to recognize hidden potential in the people around you Download episode 400

Summary

In this episode, Andy Kaufman celebrates the 400th episode of the People in Projects Podcast with special guest Adam Grant. They discuss Adam's new book, Hidden Potential, and the importance of assessing and unlocking potential in individuals.

The conversation covers various topics, including keeping projects on track, the truth about hiring based on experience, a lesson Adam learned about feedback that he's a terrible writer, and overcoming criticism. Adam reflects on the past and future, including what he misses (and doesn't miss) about being Adam Grant in 2010 (when Andy and Adam first talked). 

Takeaways

  • Assessing and unlocking potential is crucial in various aspects of life, and the judgments people make of our potential can have a significant impact.
  • Perfectionism can hinder progress, and it is important to separate our identity from our work.
  • The value of experience in hiring is often overestimated, and potential should be prioritized over years of experience.
  • Saying no and setting boundaries is essential to avoid overcommitment and maintain focus on important projects.
  • Even if initially difficult, receiving feedback can lead to valuable insights and improvements.
  • A practical AI chatbot use case that Adam tries
  • Expressing appreciation to those who have seen and nurtured our potential is important, and we should also assess the potential of others and encourage their growth.
