當你的社交圈裏大多數人的背景和技能與你的相似,就不太可能幫你找到新的想法或創造性的解決方案。通過與你的觀點、洞察力和經驗不同的人連接,使你的人脈網絡多樣化。
當你遇到一個新的人,談論你沒有共同點的東西。請朋友向你介紹他們的連絡人,他們有一份有趣的工作或在一個獨特的空間工作。特別是,嘗試去滿足那些挑戰你的假設和偏見的人。
如果你正努力以平常的管道構建你的網絡,那麼就要創造一個理由,讓一個多元化的團隊團結起來。
例如,每月一次的讀書俱樂部可以讓你有機會聽到各種不同的觀點,以及閱讀你通常不會讀到的作家。通過共同努力,你可以開發一個既能激勵你,又能推動你拓展思維的網絡。Build a Network That Challenges Your Point of View
When
your network is mostly people whose backgrounds and skill sets are similar to
yours, it’s unlikely to help you find new ideas or creative solutions.
Diversify your network by connecting with people whose viewpoints, insights,
and experiences differ from your own.
When
you meet someone new, talk about what you don’t have in common. Ask friends to
introduce you to their contacts who have an interesting job or who work in a
unique space. In particular, try to meet people who will challenge your
assumptions and biases.
If
you’re struggling to build your network in the usual ways, create a reason to
bring a diverse group together.
For
example, a monthly book club can give you the chance to hear a variety of
perspectives, as well as to read authors you wouldn’t normally pick up. By
making a concerted effort, you can develop a network that both inspires you and
pushes you to expand your thinking.
