The Rewards of Connecting
I just reread Malcolm Gladwell original article on Lois Weisberg.. just for the fun of it. It is a must read.. no it is a must reread. Every time I read it, I take away a new idea. This read I came away with the motivation of a connector. I am convinced that Lois is overwhelmed with the need to take care of others. She is not just connecting to people because she wants to have social power.. she does it because she is geniunely concerned about the well being of others. This concern, leads her to peoples doorsteps and to help them get jobs and find friends, etc... This concern is what drives her to connect and in turn, it results in an uncanny loyality that few leaders in Chicago can claim. Read the article, trust me, you want to learn about Lois.
