122. Adam Grant | Work Doesn't Have to Suck, Find Fulfillment in What You Do

We spend 25% of our life, if not more, at work – and many of our workplaces are broken; we lack fulfillment. We lack control, we lack clarity on where we are going, and too many of us don't feel like we're waking up every day to trade our lives for something of value. If that's a problem for you, you're in the right place. Today's guest is going to help you get clarity on ONE thing that will help you find more fulfillment. Adam Grant has been recognized as Wharton's top-rated teacher for six straight years, and as one of the world's 25 most influential management thinkers. He is also the author or co-author of three New York Times bestselling books: Give and Take, Originals, and Option B. We recorded this conversation as part of our monthly ONE Thing webinar series.
