Outsights vs. Insights
I listened to a Harvard Business Review webinar this morning featuring Herminia Ibarra.
- I heart HBR.
- Herminia is hella smart.
- She introduced me to the concept of “outsight.”
“Outsight is the fresh, external perspective you can get when you do new and different things — new projects and activities, different kinds of people, and new ways of getting things done .”
As opposed to insight: the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing. This stuck with me.
"It’s not about faking it until you make it. But about playing around and trying new things — try something different and learn from it."
