24 分钟In this episode, Professor Adina Sterling discusses how we can foster more diversity for healthier social networks and stronger, high performing teams.
Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, shes tackling topics that affect her own life like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
There is one catalyst that can amplify your organizations creativity and ignite its impact.
Today, we will talk about the importance and value of diversity in our social networks.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk Smart, the podcast.
Today I am super excited to be joined by Adina Sterling, who is an associate professor of organizational behavior at Stanford GSB.
Adina studies the causes and consequences of human relationships in organizations and markets, and she teaches a popular elective class called equity by design and runs a lab by the same name.
Welcome, Adina.
I'm super excited to get a chance to talk with you.
Thanks, Matt.
It's great to be here.
Yes, well, thanks for being here.
So let's go ahead and get started.
A lot of your work focuses on social networks.
For many of us, social networks refer to applications like Facebook or Twitter and LinkedIn.
