Captions available
The idea
The book argues proximity produces familiarity, not connection: knowing someone's name, schedule and role is different from trusting their judgment and investing in their success.
In practice
Two colleagues who have shared a corridor for years and have never had a real conversation.
Where people slip
The book says the gap is bridged not by time but by vulnerability, reciprocity and intentional attention.
