A colleague of mine just joined Proctor & Gamble. One of the great cultural activities there is something called a “Join Up.” Before two people conduct a business meeting 1:1, it is important that each colleague knows a little about the other. So, every employee has a 1-sheet summary of who they are as a person: their education, career, family, hobbies, etc. Whenever they meet someone new at the company, they share their individual “Join Up” sheets before conducting their business meetings.
What is the number of people with whom you interact regularly at work, but about whom you do not know important details, including their background, their interests, or their family?
