Build Your Network
Da "Managing Yourself - How to Build your Network" di Brian Uzzi & Shannon Dunlap un post "preparatorio" al successivo che - prendendo spunto dallo stesso articolo - parlerà di come valutare il proprio network attuale e di come migliorare la propria connessione.
A strong personal network can launch a burgeoning plan into the limelight: most executives knows that they need to learn about the best ideas and that, in turn, their best ideas must be heard by the rest of the world.
Moreover, everyone experiences a lull at some point in his or her career: one way to jump-start your resurgence is to examine your social network.
But strong personal networks have to be carefully constructed through relatively high-stake activities that bring you into contact with a diverse group of people.
In return networks deliver 3 unique advantages: 1.) Private Informations; 2.) Access to Diverse Skill Sets; 3.) Power.
1.) Private Informations
Public information is easily available from a variety of sources but precisely because of it is easily accessible it offers significantly less competitive advantage. Private information, by contrast, is gathered from personal contacts who can offer something unique that cannot be found in public domain. Private informations therefore can give executives and edge.
2.) Access to Diverse Skill Sets
Highly diverse networks ties can help you develop more complete, creative and unbiased views of the issues. And when you trade information or skills with people whose experiences differ from your own, you provide one another with unique, exceptionally valuable resources.
3.) Power
Power is repositioned in the network's information brokers linking specialists with trustworthy and informative ties.
