A typical post picks up 1.0K interactions against 872K followers, an engagement rate of 0.118%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 61K times each, and 1.68% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.02% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 75% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 58K interactions, about 56x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Adam Grant's engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 65% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.118%, Adam Grant sits above the 50th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.081% to 0.439%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,701 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 104,204 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    Our highest loyalty doesn’t belong to people or parties. It belongs to principles. If you wouldn’t accept it from the “other side,” you shouldn’t accept it from yours. Integrity is upholding your values even when your own group violates them.

    The best way to gain job security is not being the most knowledgeable person in the room. It's being the most reliable person in the room. Information is abundant. Dependability, helpfulness, and responsiveness are relatively scarce. We count on people who consistently deliver.
