Dr. Shaner said “Networking is more complicated than just meeting people” “When I am new in an organization, I am not considered legitimate, so I find mentors, as I go up I have more flexibility as to have an open network and contact a whole range of people.” When I asked her what she would do first Shaner said “Ask yourself what your objective is? The answer “will tell you how to leverage your network.”
She went on to share that “If innovating is my objective, I will use the part of my network outside of my network, new thoughts.” I asked Shaner what tools you can bring to understand your network and she said “you can draw a map, look at your map and see what its characteristics to what I want to accomplish” “Your LinkedIn network may or may not be your close network. We connect on LinkedIn and don’t connect with people who are closer.”
Shaner said that “We associate networking with cocktails, one-off, transactional when you look at the research it is about building relationships and bringing energy to that relationship.”
When asked about minorities finding a mentor she said “The research shows that there are differences between men and women at the beginning of their career when you are a minority you have more difficulty. They need to go to the majority group for support or advice. Women are an example of this; they need men to mentor them.”
When asked how companies can make a difference Shaner said: “It is important for the organization to establish a culture to reward performance and deal with issues around mentoring and development of people.”
