Čím myslíte, že je determinován úspěch? Je to talent, tvrdá dřina či snad dobré rodinné zázemí? Autor bestselleru Ještě to promysli vám ve své novince představí novou perspektivu toho, jak můžeme sebe i ostatní pozvednout do nečekaných výšin. Žijeme ve světě, který je posedlý talenty. Oslavujeme nadané studenty ve škole, ve sportu, zázračné děti v hudbě. Toto obdivování vrozených výhod nás ale vede k přehlížení vlastního potenciálu, podceňování rozsahu dovedností, jež se můžeme během života naučit, a cílů, kterých můžeme dosáhnout. A to může být chyba! Každý v sobě máme více potenciálu ke zlepšení, než co si myslíme. A vůbec nevadí, když u nás příležitost zrovna neklepe. Vždy existují způsoby, jak jí postavit dveře.

Focusing on personal growth and development, the book challenges the notion that talent is the sole determinant of success. It emphasizes that anyone can achieve their aspirations through cultivating character skills such as proactivity, courage, and determination, rather than relying solely on innate abilities or perfectionism. By creating better systems of opportunity in various environments, individuals can enhance their potential. The author presents a fresh perspective on achievement, highlighting the importance of the journey and the progress made along the way.

We live in a world that's obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn't knock, there are ways to build a door.Hidden Potential offers a new framework for raising aspirations and exceeding expectations. Adam Grant weaves together groundbreaking evidence, surprising insights, and vivid storytelling that takes us from the classroom to the boardroom, the playground to the Olympics, and underground to outer space. He shows that progress depends less on how hard you work than how well you learn. Growth is not about the genius you possess-it's about the character you develop. Grant explores how to build the character skills and motivational structures to realize our own potential, and how to design systems that create opportunities for those who have been underrated and overlooked.Many writers have chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great things. This book reveals how anyone can rise to achieve greater things. The true measure of your potential is not the height of the peak you've reached, but how far you've climbed to get there.

Kedy ste naposledy prehodnotili názor? Ešte si to premysli je kniha o dôležitosti pochybovania a o tom, ako ľahšie spracovať nové fakty a nazerať na vlastné omyly pozitívnou optikou. Výskumy ukazujú, že tí najlepší vedia prehodnotiť svoje stanoviská a sú schopní meniť názory. Okrem toho sa dokázalo, že lídri, ktorí pripúšťajú, že niečo nevedia a neboja sa kritiky, sú na čele výkonnejších a tvorivejších tímov. Dnes už máme dôkazy, že umeniu prehodnocovať sa dá naučiť. Adam Grant vysvetľuje, ktoré vlastnosti na to potrebujeme. V prvej časti rozoberá, prečo je pre človeka ťažké opätovne sa zamyslieť nad problémom a ako si túto zručnosť osvojiť. Upozorňuje pritom, že samotné „odhodlanie“ môže byť občas na škodu. V druhej časti nám ukazuje, ako môžeme k prehodnocovaniu viesť druhých. Tretia a posledná časť je venovaná dôvodom, prečo sa v školách, vo firmách či vládnych inštitúciách prehodnocovaniu nedarí. Schopnosť znova sa zamyslieť môže byť napokon tajnou zručnosťou, ktorá vám v čoraz rýchlejšie sa meniacom svete zabezpečí kľúčový náskok.
