Hanna-Karin GrensmanCOUNTERPRODUCTIVE
LinkedIn wants me to start building my relationship with Erik by sending a message that essentially says I am so uninterested in him that I don’t even think it’s worth taking the time to formulate my own words.
As a behavioural scientist (a real one, not the “Surrounded by Idiots” variety), I can state with confidence that giving Erik the impression that I am uninterested in him is not the most effective strategy for building a relationship.
Don’t get me wrong; I love technology, automation, and clever, time-saving solutions. But it is nonetheless entirely counterproductive to use them in actual interpersonal communication.
At least if you want relationships with people, and not to treat them like trading cards.
You would think LinkedIn, of all places, would understand this.
