I was listening to an interview with two Co-founders of Prayas Analytics. I found it inspiring to hear that they said there was a huge benefit in being surrounded in a right group of people. I’ve heard this more often now; the importance of having the right tribe, a group of inspiring and motivational people around you that challenge you to make steps and grow..
Paraphrases from the interview:
Surround yourself with the kind of people that will push you to do great things.
Being surrounded by driven people drives you to do more things and do them better.
Two qualities that are important in mentors according to one of the interviewees:
- A willingness to ask questions, rather than answer them. (A ‘Socratic way’ of teaching)
- Brutal honesty
