But according to social scientist and Wharton professor Adam Grant, reconsideration, or the ability to reconsider your views, is much more valuable than knowledge or loyalty to your beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following Adam Grant&#8217;s <em>Think Again<\/em> quotes highlight some of the key ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cLectures aren\u2019t designed to accommodate dialogue or disagreement; they turn students into passive receivers of information rather than active thinkers.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant critiques traditional education methods such as lecture and memorization as inadequately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/student-challenges\/\">challenging students<\/a> to think independently. These methods teach students to repeat the information they learn but not how to engage meaningfully with the material. As a result, they don\u2019t develop adequate critical thinking skills. Instead of lecture and memorization, Grant advocates for an active-learning method that encourages students to question their thinking and engage curiously and meaningfully with other people\u2019s ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant provides some suggestions for encouraging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/active-learning-methods\/\">active learning<\/a> and reconsideration:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One method is to assign projects that involve multiple drafts with peer feedback (feedback that a small peer group provides)\u2014having students complete multiple drafts shows them that they may need to make mistakes and reconsider their ideas several times in order to meet the project goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers can also encourage students to share their passions\u2014when students hear about the interests of their peers, they realize that other students have something to teach them and that they might benefit from the ideas of others.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, teachers can empower students to question widely accepted beliefs\u2014Grant says that teachers should create lessons that debunk myths and challenge conventional thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><strong>\u201cPsychological safety is not a matter of relaxing standards, making people comfortable, being nice and agreeable, or giving unconditional praise. It\u2019s fostering a climate of respect, trust, and openness in which people can raise concerns and suggestions without fear of reprisal. It\u2019s the foundation of a learning culture.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Great ideas go unexpressed when workplaces don\u2019t try to cultivate a sense of psychological safety\u2014people fear the negative consequences of being wrong, so they hesitate to speak up. In such a culture, old ways of doing things go unquestioned because people are stigmatized for challenging them. When this dynamic sets in, the workplace can become wedded to old ideas and processes that clearly aren&#8217;t working anymore, while new ideas are stifled and ignored\u2014leading the entire organization to suffer as a result.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this outcome, leaders should focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/psychological-safety-at-work\/\">creating psychological safety in the workplace<\/a> by communicating that it\u2019s ok to be wrong. Even better, they can openly share professional critiques that show their past failures. When leaders are open about their own shortcomings and how they are working to do better, it provides a powerful example of humility that gives employees the psychological safety to struggle and make mistakes too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>\u201cStereotypes don\u2019t have the structural integrity of a carefully built ship. They\u2019re more like a tower in the game of Jenga \u2013 teetering on a small number of blocks, with some key supports missing. To knock it over, sometimes all we need to do is give it a poke. The hope is that people will rise to the occasion and build new beliefs on a stronger foundation.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Stereotypes often stem from a lack of awareness about the complexity of the perspectives of others.&nbsp;Grant suggests thinking hypothetically about what you would be like if you had a different background\u2014you\u2019ll likely come to realize that the experiences of others are much more complex than you\u2019d assumed. He suggests some \u201chypotheses\u201d to examine, such as: Could I be wrong about how I think about this group of people? Is it <em>really<\/em> true that all X people do Y? How does their background differ from mine, and how has that informed the different ways we live?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sparks the Reconsideration Process\u2014you realize that your stereotypes are incorrect, seek correct information about different groups, and come away with a nuanced understanding of them rather than a stereotype.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for Adam Grant&#8217;s Think Again quotes?
