About this chapter

You never know who knows whom, so network with everybody, not just senior people. Breaking the habit of not speaking to people you haven't been formally introduced to makes work better and opens doors.

Key points

• People labelled "going nowhere" may be close friends with the divisional director.
• Say hello to people at neighbouring desks and teams, and connect on LinkedIn.
• Join charity days, birthdays and social events, and offer to join organising committees.
• Check with your line manager before volunteering for anything that might take time from work.
• Sports and social clubs are a good way to meet people across the company.
