The Necessity of Strangers

As Alan Gregerman explains in The Necessity of Strangers, strangers rarely figure into one’s thinking about business or personal success. However, the ability to engage, learn from, and collaborate with strangers who are very different is the real key to creating remarkable breakthroughs, growing enterprises, finding and delighting new customers, and making the most of life. Strangers are essential to greater success. They lead people to new ways of doing things, help bring out the very best in others, and influence others’ thinking about how they can grow their enterprises. The ability to engage the right strangers in the right ways can determine whether or not people ever reach their full potential.
