Networking
Join to an interest group or network for lonely wolves are more vulnerable than the pack. Consider the future potential of the particular network, not only its current strengths and scope. Estimate what value you can bring in, in terms of connections, access to information, agility to further organize and expand the network. Be prepared for conflict of interest situations for the interest of your network could clash with the one of your current employer. Consider that there is no easy way out of an interest group. Switching a interest group could be costly and painful for you for getting indebted is unavoidable in networks.
