Adam Grant on networking for people who hate networking

In Adam Grant’s TED Talk, Networking for People Who Hate Networking, he challenges the traditional view of networking as transactional and self-serving. Instead, he emphasizes the power of generosity and genuine connections. Grant explains that the best networkers focus on helping others rather than advancing their own agendas, which ultimately leads to stronger, more meaningful relationships. He highlights the importance of giving without expecting immediate returns and shows how this approach fosters trust, reciprocity, and long-term success. His talk offers a refreshing perspective for those who dislike conventional networking but still want to build valuable professional relationships.
