In this rapidly changing world, learning to question your opinions and open other people’s minds can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life.
Watch this webinar where we go inside the mind of one of the country’s most thought provoking and creative scholars & teachers, Adam Grant.
In this discussion, Professor Adam Grant and Wharton School Dean Erika James touched on Adam’s most recent book ‘’Think Again’’, as well as on his background in psychology and how it influences his work as a business school professor at Wharton.
We discussed:

- What role the current generation of students can play to shape business now - and in the future.
- How have Wharton and other business schools evolved?
