Working together is not something that\u2019s new to progressive minds. Without collaboration, many of the innovations and advancements we enjoy today would have never happened. It\u2019s the ideal way to open your eyes, shift your perspective and reach a goal that you might not have known it even existed! Being able to create powerful, meaningful relationships is an art. And if you want to go far, you should master it.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with the basics. Practice your social skills and use politeness to your advantage since you will soon discover that there are two ways of saying things. The one that leaves a scar and the one that makes a mark. Step outside of your comfort zone and out of what you would normally consider being \u2018your group\u2019. Networking is not about making friends, is about creating alliances that are beneficial for both parties.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s reference history as a proving point:<\/p>\n
Humanity, since its early days, or since we\u2019ve come to record its evolution, was all about networking, creating alliances on every field and joining together to achieve the best possible outcomes. Take the Parthenon, for example. It was visualized by Periklis, but would it be as dominant and as exceptional as it is if he hadn\u2019t trusted his architects, Iktinos and Kallikratis or if the genius that was Phidias, the sculptor, hadn\u2019t been recruited to make on Periklis\u2019 dream construction possible? \u00a0During the Renaissance, producing art was above all, the result of cooperative efforts.\u00a0 The \u2018bottheghe\u2019, what the Italians called the artists\u2019 shops back then, were operated by individuals that had a profound individual expertise, discussed ideas, solved problems and as a team was responsible for the final creation.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to go that back to discover partnerships that created magic. You wouldn\u2019t be able to \u2018google\u2019 anything if a Russian and an American, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were still on \u2018cold\u2019 terms.<\/p>\n
Democracy, as we experience today would have collapsed ages ago without putting to practice the theory of political coalitions. In fact, most of the world\u2019s governments are a result of post-election party settlements and compromises.<\/p>\n
Television may have taken many more decades to perfect if Lee de Forest and Arthur Korn didn\u2019t join forces and shared their knowledge to make a practical design based on Constantin Persky\u2019s paper.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s just a handful. Many scientific, technological, political and sociological breakthroughs are the products of teamwork. If you want to go far, find your partners in your innovative \u201ccrime\u201d. Those minds that operate on the same frequency that you do. Listen to ideas that are exciting and innovative, meet professionals and experts, their advice can only make you better, so you\u2019ll turn something good into something exceptional. Hey! \u00a0You can have fish and you can have chips, separately and still have two pleasant meals. But it\u2019s not the same as having fish & chips, is it?<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, like fish and chips, we work better, together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
