Dateline: July 5, 2013
Welcome to our Friday WRAP – one thought-provoking idea to think about over the weekend.
What makes a successful network? The people on your team, according to Fast Company blogger Drake Baer. His recent post for Fast Company’s Dialed section, The 4 People You Need for An Awesome Network, suggests that there are 4 must-haves on your team for you (and your projects) to be a success. They include:
The Socialite… This is the friendly neighborhood super-connector, the person who will intro you to all the people you need to know.
The Older Sibling….[someone] yearning to be a mentor….[who] can help you find the supply closet, navigate office politics, and vouch for your [side projects].
The IT Guru … a tech-knowledgable colleague that you can lean on in times of buggy need.
The Helpless Newbie… someone…more doe-eyed than you, [who] could probably use a kind word–which could launch a career.
Which of these archetypes are missing from your network? Who can you add to your team to fill the void?
That’s a WRAP! Have a wonderful weekend.
