"Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World" by Adam M. Grant, Forward by Sheryl Sandberg. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2016.

Book description: In Originals, the author addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?   Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can fight groupthink to build cultures that welcome dissent.
