Individuals, not numbers
How many direct face-to-face (or phone call) interactions do you have in a work week? How much personal attention do you give to clients, colleagues, and other contacts? How many professional associations or community organizations are you actively engaged in during a month? How often do you think of your internal/external network in terms of numbers ("over 500 links") rather than as individuals ("so many people")? As "it's back to work we go" mentality sets in, remember: Don't get caught up in the attitude and actual pressures of just "doing the work." Remember to talk to and spend real time with the people who work with you.
