POWER THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: Rhythm of Networking, Part 4

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

Syncopated Beats

Creativity is born of unexpected ideas contributing to a single cause. Few networks live in a space of total innovation. The need comes in “fits and starts” and is met in short periods of intense concentration, or after an extended period of rest. The ebbs and flows of imagination and creation can be exhausting. Yet, pose a problem to your network, give them boundaries (amount of money and time available along with constraints), and many ideas will be shared. Ask for this kind of help sparingly – after you’ve done your homework and exhausted the obvious possibilities. Your network will generate a number of opportunities. Be sure to acknowledge and consider each one.

Networking Rhythmically

Moving a network or team into action requires a steady beat. March steadily towards a goal and punctuate each step. Let your network know what is happening.
1. Ask them to contribute ideas, strategies or forms that might help you with a specific project or idea.
2. Express gratitude immediately and don’t wait too long before you do.
3. Share how their contributions were implemented and, finally;
4. Assess how those changes affected the work. As you do this, more ideas and resources will come to you as interest in and understanding of your work increases. Networkers like to help. Establish a rhythm of asking and sharing!

Rhythmic Networking

Network using intentional rhythms. For musicians, an easy ¾ time waltz invites people to dance in predictable patterns to comforting cadences. It is the rhythm of the heart – calm, inclusive and predictable. Establish relationships with ease and maintain them with gentle appreciation. Adopt a servant leader stance to help those in your network. Supply that and become what your network needs to feel nurtured and to flourish. If one of your networks is losing energy, give it an infusion that uplifts and inspires. For example, share ideas in a thought for the day or week. Give without expectation of return. Waltz with your network!

Networking Flows

Powerful networking creates a flow of energy, a current that pulls others into it. Ideas hook people and pull them into the flow. Common interests attract others, be they mainstream, heretical or extreme. Is your communication matter of fact, compelling, witty or arcane? People engage around humor. Is yours dry, racy, or laced with puns? What draws others into your network and keeps them there? Be intentional about the use of tone, language and humor. These shape the way the network hears your ideas and interests. Figure out what you want from your network and release that energy to attract like energies, thereby increasing the flow. More flow equals greater networking power.
