<h2>Ruchika T. Malhotra: Uncompete</h2>

She’s been recognized multiple times by Thinkers50 and co-wrote one of Harvard Business Review’s top 100 most-read articles in history: Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome. She is the author of Inclusion on Purpose, MIT Press’s top-selling book of 2022 and now her newest book, <em>Uncompete: Rejecting Competition to Unlock Success</em> (<a href="https://amzn.to/4hFYBLo">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/90226/9780593832158">Bookshop</a>)*.</p>
<p>A lot of people think about work as a competition for resources. But what if, by inviting others to the table, you created more for everyone? In this conversation, Ruchika and I explore the opportunity for all of us to uncompete.</p>
<h3>Key Points</h3>
<ul>
<li>Many of us are so socialized to compete that we don’t realize the benefits of collective collaboration.</li>
<li>Reach out to someone who inspires you. Praising someone for something awesome about them, without an accompanying ask, is so rare.</li>
<li>Display genuine curiosity. Don’t confuse “nice” small talk for depth. Ask bigger questions that get to the heart of who people are.</li>
<li>As you build trust, talk numbers. In the professional context, real relationships of trust demand this kind of transparency.</li>
<li>Take regular stock of relationships. Take people at their word and also watch how their actions line up – or don’t.</li>
<li>Invite others to the table. The bigger your circle, the more you create for everybody.</li>
</ul>
