 Quality or quantity when it comes to building your network? At the Engineering Management Institute, we help engineers become better managers and leaders. And in this week's Engineering Manager 80-20 Shorts video, I'd like to answer this question from a young engineer. My time for networking and building relationships is limited. Should I focus on a few valuable relationships or should I build a big network? It's a good question. And I'm going to answer it like this. When you are in contact with people, meaning phone or in-person networking events, focus on a few valuable relationships. However, when you're not at the events, utilize content to build relationships with many. So it's contact or content. So when you go to a networking event, you should have an idea of a couple of people that you do want to specifically network with, build relationships and get to know them. You should do some research beforehand so you know who it's going to be. You should have some questions prepared to be able to start a conversation. And then of course follow up and build a relationship afterwards. However, you should also use networks like LinkedIn and put your expertise out there, put articles out there, put inspiration out there on a regular basis so that all of your network will see that and in a sense grow closer to you or learn more about you without you having to take time to interact with each one of them. Now, from time to time, it's always good to reach out to people and strengthen the relationship. But these social networks, if utilized correctly and in a proper way, can really help you to build a relationship or relationship based with many people that you can take further with the people that you so choose. So remember, if you're in contact with people, find a few people and build high value relationships where you're giving them value and learning about them and reciprocating. But then when you're not out there networking, use social networks to build a bigger network. I hope you found this useful.
