In a world obsessed with talent, we often overlook the distance we ourselves can go to adopt new skills and improve. Weaving together groundbreaking evidence, unexpected insights and storytelling that takes us from the boardroom to the Olympics, Grant demonstrates how growth is not determined by innate genius, but rather by character development.

Rajiv Shah, President of the Rockefeller Foundation, is no stranger to solving complex and urgent challenges, from helping vaccinate 900 million children to racing to stop the spread of Ebola. His approach employs a “big bets” philosophy—the bold idea that seeking to solve the stickiest problems directly, rather than making incremental improvements, can draw in powerful partners to achieve transformational change. Shah, an Indian American from an immigrant family, traces his path to the Rockefeller Foundation across some of the most ambitious global efforts to create impact, including posts at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
