It's not just the network, it's making the network work

I was discussing this recent post about the ability to connect being more important than one's individual work output with my Vice President of Common Sense (a.k.a. Maura).

She said, "There are lots of people who can create networks, but there aren't many who can use those networks to get things accomplished. That's the real difficult task."

And I really couldn't respond to that at all, because, you know, she's right.
