I came to this article in order to decide whether I should invest 15 minutes watching Adam Grant do a TED Talk. But I find only that he has won a lot of awards and nothing about what he has done to deserve them. While referencing the revision history, I noticed that a lot of Grant's accomplishments were deleted in the "Revision as of 22:58, 8 July 2015." The reason for deletion is apparently the lack of citations. But the deletion rendered references to his work ("his call center study" and his "research on introverts") rather cryptic without any further description or explanation of its import. It would be swell if someone more familiar with his work than I am would restore these deletions and add the necessary citations. (Or should I try to undo the deletions and leave them unsourced? I dunno. Oh, the stress.) Frappyjohn (talk) 18:17, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
He is a college professor who has published academic journal articles and who wrote a book that became a NYT #1 best seller. That is pretty much the whole story. 128.82.15.206 (talk) 22:04, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I added a source to the academic career section of the article where there is a source needed flag. This flag didn't go away afterwards and I'm not sure if that is an error on my part or if Wikipedia thinks it still needs another source. I'll try to figure it out, but I would love any input as I am new to Wikipedia editing.Manboban (talk) 17:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ2aSCH3zjY (around 7:30 minutes in) where a notable scientist criticizes Adam Grant's TED Talk procrastination theory - and when that scientist asks Grant for his work, Grant is unable to provide the manuscript/data backing his claim.
His research may be lacking, and this should be added as a critique of his work.
