A Different Kind of Connector
May. 6th, 2008 11:53 amI've been thinking about some of the roles mentioned in Malcolm Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" about people who connect, people who can find deals etc.
The book basically talks about certain types of people, and how they push trends into the tipping point.
I think I have some connectors in my social circles.
I think that I could be a bit of a connector, as I really enjoy meeting new people, and then introducing and them to each other if they happen to have something in common.
However, what I love even more, is connecting people to information and ideas, and making sure that these ideas, concepts and new developments are getting out there.
This is probably why I like writing and reporting- I get to tell people about new things, inform, and often get a story out for people who may not have the resources of power to get that information heard by a larger group without a little assistance.
This is also probably why I scored at the 94th percentile in communications when I took an aptitude test after school.
