Value in networks
Working with an environmental leadership group in Washington DC where there is significant interest in the power of social networks. It’s very much a mindset, focusing on how personal value in networks is relational.
In a relational view, personal assets and attributes have no intrinsic value in themselves - skills, knowledge, degrees, expertise, resources. They have value in networks relative to variables like accessibility, supply, demand, and trust.
So when we’re assessing our personal value in our networks and communities, we need to consider questions like, “When and where are my gifts most valuable?” and “What can I do to make my gifts more known and engaged?”
