Gladwellian Connectors
In The Tipping Point. Malcolm Gladwell talks about people who act as connectors. Connectors are people who, first and foremost, know a lot of people. Gladwell talks about the key role that connectors play in helping something new (a fashion, an idea) catch on.
From an article titled "Leadership Philadelphia about to connect with ‘connectors’" in the Philadelphia Business Journal –
This sounds good:
Leadership Philadelphia wants to talk to connectors to learn how they manage to be so effective in bringing people together to work toward a goal.
But this sounds a little silly:
The organization, which puts on programs to help educate leaders about the region and inspire community action, plans to have connector skills taught to public school students and Leadership Philadelphia members.
Maybe I’m being cynical.
