iPhone Separation Anxiety

iPhone Separation Anxiety | Practical Networked Leadership Skills | Scoop.it
Our smartphones make us anxious and that anxiety then gets in the way of our performance and our relationships. Some call it FOMO—Fear of Missing Out—or nomophobia—Fear of being out of mobile phone contact or FOBO—Fear of Being Offline. Regardless of what you call it, this disorder is a manifestation of anxiety, plain and simple. If someone is separated from their phone they get anxious (well, at least if they are heavy phone users which includes pretty much everyone under 35 or so). And that anxiety is driving their ability to attend to others arou

Social Network Analysis Primer

Beth Kanter's insight:

Excellent primer on SNA which can get pretty geeky.   This primer is focused on ONA (organizational network analysis). 



SNA is focused on uncovering patterns with regards to how people interact by using maps and metrics (mathematical analysis of human relationships) and evaluating the quality of a social network. Healthy networks are those that can adapt quickly to change, that can be reorganized without significantly affecting productivity, and that can diffuse information quickly.

Professional Networking In An Era of Social Networks: What Has Changed, What Hasn't

Professional Networking In An Era of Social Networks:  What Has Changed, What Hasn't | Practical Networked Leadership Skills | Scoop.it
Master networker Heidi Roizen on what has changed — and what hasn’t — about professional networking in the era of social media.
Beth Kanter's insight:


* Social media can speed connections, but don't confuse with social intimacy


Social media creates a false sense of intimacy, particularly when people choose to expose a lot about themselves. Social media has allowed us to have broader relationships, but at the end of the day, human relationships haven't changed — we haven't increased a human being's capacity to have close associations with a lot more people.


Embrace the power of weak ties.

I do think that technology has increased our ability to maintain weak ties with people, and that has value. There's a lot of research and writing about weak links being potentially more powerful than strong ones. And I'm a big believer in that. Because of technology and social media, in less than a minute I can find someone I haven't been in touch with for 10 or 15 years, look at LinkedIn and see what they're up to, and be able to reestablish that link in a more efficient and meaningful way. And by the same token, sometimes you can rule them out just as efficiently, take a look and say, "Oh, they're clearly not interested in this thing anymore."
