HINT: Leadership success is a team sport.
In a recent Harvard Business Review, after analyzing employee relationships across more than 100 diverse companies, the study revealed an overlooked prerequisite for transition success: the effective use of internal networks.
This involves five key practices. Surging rapidly into a broad network by asking a lot questions and discovering boundary-spanning, innovative people across the organization.
Generating pull by understanding, energizing, and adjusting to new connections. It involves identifying how to add value, where one falls short, and which peers can help fill any gaps.
Success relies on creating scale as well by using the network to engage other key opinion leaders, expand the scope and impact of one’s projects, and more efficiently deliver outsize results.
And lastly, shaping the network for maximum thriving by making connections that enhance one’s workplace experience.
Now go forth and be awesome.
