POWER THOUGHTOF THE WEEK: Networks and Agency, Part 1

Power Thought of the Week with Patricia Parham, Ph.D.

Networks and Agency

Agency is the ability to negotiate the environment in order to produce desired changes or circumstances. Your network is one conduit for exercising agency. How well does your network help you create the conditions in which you thrive? As independent individuals, we use networks to create favorable economic conditions, barter and broker goods and services, and meet our emotional and social needs. Our power grows as we become more effective with each of these.

Developmental Networks: Mentoring

Build mutual mentoring relationships into your networks. Help another’s business develop and allow them to help yours, as well. These persons might be peers, superiors or up and comers – all have wisdom to offer.
