Description

With networking fast becoming a key competency, ensuring that your top people have excellent networking skills and are able to mentor others in their networking is a priority. Well networked leaders raise their own profile as well as that of the organisation and provide fantastic role models.

Being  a well networked leader is about more than just having an extensive address book - it is about knowing the people in your network and understanding their needs and concerns; it is about being willing to share useful information and contacts; and it is about your network contacts knowing what would be useful or helpful to you.

Well networked leaders will be able to get the information they want and be connected to those they seek. They will also be a great source of information and contact to those who work for them or are mentored by them.
