Tim Ulbrich revisits his 2019 conversation with David Burkus, author of Friend of a Friend, to explore how we can rethink networking and build relationships that unlock new opportunities. This episode is brought to you by First Horizon. Summary In this week's episode, YFP Co-Founder Tim Ulbrich revisits a 2019 conversation with David Burkus, best-selling author of Friend of a Friend, to explore how we can rethink networking and build relationships that unlock new opportunities. David, an expert in organizational behavior and network science, challenges traditional networking advice and highlights the surprising value of "weak ties"—connections we interact with less often but that can open unexpected doors.  He also explains the power of "dormant ties," structural holes, super connectors, and the importance of authentic engagement. Tune in for an insightful discussion on leveraging your network to drive success, both professionally and personally.

He is also the author of Under New Managementand The Myths of Creativity.

As we head into year 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic, most knowledge workers are still working from home. You may be listening to this from your home office or kitchen table desk. But before working from home became semi mandatory for health and safety reasons, many companies were very resistant to the idea of distributed and remote work. David Burkus is an associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University and an author. His many books include Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career, Pick A Fight: How Great Teams Find A Purpose Worth Rallying Around, and the very timely Leading From Anywhere: The Essential Guide to Managing Remote Teams.In this opportune episode, Greg & David discuss how productivity changes while working from home, the science behind meetings, building boundaries in your new work schedule and creating a shared sense of purpose within teams, even when they are not in person.Episode Quotes:Measuring productivity in knowledge work:It is really hard to measure performance in knowledge work, especially day to day. It's really hard to know all of those people sitting at their desks, on the computer, are they being productive or not? And in the absence of that, a lot of managers, the lazier ones if we're being honest, will just flip and say, okay, well, when did they come in? When did they leave this? This person's gotta be productive because they're always staying late to get extra work done.On remote leadership:Hopefully now we've realized that presence doesn't equal productivity. There's better work to be done to measure and track that. But I really feel like there's a lot of people that even 14 months into this really just feel like it's still the truth and can't wait to get back. And I feel sorry for those people, because a lot of their most talented people do not agree with them. The question I'm asked most often over the last year is when are we going back to the office? And the answer I give them is, we're not. At least not all of us and not all of the time. And so you better get ready to lead in that context. Creating a rule book for communication:Start with a working agreement, social contract. When I'm feeling particularly feisty, I sometimes refer to it as the declaration of interdependence for your team. We have to work together, so we're going to have to find a way to work together, right? And breaking down what is asynchronous versus synchronous communication is a part of that, but it's broader. It's all of those little unanswered questions. Where a lot of friction and where a lot of conflict on a team happens is when somebody assumes a norm that isn't actually what other people assume. It's when somebody sends an email and no one responds in the first 12 hours, and then they get angry when everybody else is going “well, I have a day. Like you sent me it via email, therefore I have 24 to 48 hours to respond”. Right? Those are things we actually need to flesh out. So what I encourage a lot of team leaders to do is make that list of questions about stuff we haven't resolved.Show Links:Guest Profile:David Burkus' WebsiteDavid Burkus on LinkedinDavid Burkus on InstagramDavid Burkus on YoutubeDavid Burkus on TEDXUniversityOfNevedaHis work:Leading From Anywhere: The Essential Guide to Managing Remote TeamsPick a Fight: How Great Teams Find a Purpose Worth Rallying AroundFriend Of A Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your CareerUnder New Management: How Leading Organizations Are Upending Business as UsualThe Myths of Creativity: The Truth About How Innovative Companies and People Generate Great Ideas

In this episode, we welcome David Burkus as our guest. Two years ago, I started to take my LinkedIn activities more seriously, and back then I was looking for intelligent ways to do so. I do not recall exactly how I landed on the TEDx site and at the talk “How to hack Networking" from David. Well, after watching the talk I took the initiative, and with less than 100 connections on LinkedIn, I reached out to David with a connect request. Even he is a bestselling author with more than 15k followers on LinkedIn alone, he walked the talk and accepted, and it felt great. I invited him to our podcast, he agreed but shortly after we lost contact. This could be the end of the story, and again one more of these loose connections on social media. But it went a different way. Just a couple of months ago we re-connected when I found out about his new upcoming book.

When it comes to attracting A-Players to your business, tapping into the networks of A-Players is key. But, what if you have exhausted your contacts? Then what? In her latest edition in the How to Hire the Best Series, Dr. Sabrina shares David Burkus’ insights on how to network based on human behavior and psychology, and not rote networking advice that we frequently hear. David joins Dr. Sabrina to on today’s show to challenge our outdated notions about how we “should” network. These insights will be powerful in helping you attract A-Players to your team. Plus, Dr. Sabrina digs into radical management practices from David’s other book, Under New Management, that the Tap the Potential team and some of our clients are experiencing great success with.  David Burkus is a best-selling author, a sought-after keynote speaker, and an Associate Professor of Leadership and Innovation. His newest book, Friend of a Friend, offers readers a new perspective on how to grow their networks and build key connections, one based on the science of human behavior, not rote networking advice. He’s delivered keynotes to the leaders of Fortune 500 companies and the future leaders of the United States Naval Academy. His TED Talk has been viewed over two million times and he is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. Show Highlights: David’s inspiration for writing Friend of a Friend was from two different ideas: 1) New studies from the world of network science, which are fascinating but not always practical; and 2) Annoyance at the networking advice books, which tend to be autobiographical. Dr. Sabrina covers a challenge business owners encounter with networking to attract A-players, and how she discovered the answers in one of David’s books. When people think they’ve asked everyone they know when searching for an A-player, most of the time they have only asked people they feel comfortable asking.  The subtitle of David’s book is the Hidden Network and describes those people that you already know, but you’re forgetting.  Most people would benefit from a system where they’re constantly pinging those people, reaching out to them whenever a thought of them is triggered, such as by reading a news article or seeing something on social media that brings them to mind. This move is beneficial for not only when you’re looking to hire, but looking to be hired, as well. David explains the concept of tapping into networks through brokers, and the key to finding out if you’re already a broker or relying on brokers. It’s not enough to just build a diverse team because the team, the longer it works together, will be less and less diverse. The longer they work together, the more they are going to think alike. Be mindful of constant refreshing. Dr. Sabrina and David discuss the concept of “no email”, and how it can be doable and beneficial. David delves into the science of oxytocin and what happens to us in our bodies when trust is extended and how we reciprocate around that.  Don’t cater to C-and-D-players when designing policies and procedures. In North America, we brag about how much we work. We need to flip this and senior leaders need to be showy about how little they’re around and be gone so that other team members get the message that taking time off is actually Ok. Dr. Sabrina and David discuss the 4-Week Vacation™ Challenge and David research backing up how important it is to fully unplug for an extended period of time. Can you really get rid of the annual performance review? David says ditch it! Instead, invest time in training your managers on how to coach team members. Get Ready for 2020!!

David Burkus (@davidburkus), thought leader, multi best-selling author, & networking expert joins The Brink of Midnight Podcast with John Brenkus. David Burkus is on a mission to translate and bring the best, scientifically-based ideas out of the ivory tower and into the offices, coffee shops, and meeting rooms where good work is done. From the theories of how creativity is generated to best practices in leadership and management, and now to redefining what good networking looks like, David is making an impact across all spectrums of work and life. Outside of his best-selling books, you can find his insights in Forbes, Inc., the Ted Talks stage, and many other outlets. He speaks around the world and works with organizations like Google, Fidelity, Microsoft, and many others. In this conversation, we dive into the nitty gritty from his recently published book, “Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Career”. He turns the idea of those awkward “What do you do?” conversations on it's head to help us understand that we don't create a network, we live inside one. David also gives us actionable steps on how to approach networking from the elevator pitch to extended conversations, tells us common pitfalls and what NOT to do, and how to think about the role that social media plays. He then looks through the lens of society at large, describing how networks form and how the danger of defaulting only to what is familiar to us can lead to division of groups. Especially poignant in today's political climate, he illustrates how and why we need to start intentionally creating opportunities to move outside our default network to learn from others and have dialogue with a diverse set of opinions. This conversation is fully of takeaways that you can immediately apply to your work and life, and his ideas will keep you thinking long into the weeks and months ahead!

In today’s busy episode we look at the networks and constellations that surround us in our work, the human kind and the virtual respectively. Some great guests and conversations come your way, as we connect with unique expertise in the remote working space.   And special thanks to previous guest Gant Laborde for sending us some great new connections, as well his own podcast Building Infinite Red - we love to hear your feedback, so please connect with us over at Virtual Not Distant! 3.04 The Voice Behind the Book – David Burkus It’s always a pleasure to talk with David Burkus, award-winning speaker, business school professor, and author of “ Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks that Will Transform Your Life and Your Career”. David is an old friend of this podcast, and joined us back in episode 137. His latest book looks at the fundamental principles of network science, based on 50 years of experimental evidence, to analyse universal truths you can make use of in any setting. It’s definitely not yet another book about how to ‘do’ networking – but by better understanding the principles in play, you can enrich the way you connect with others and grow your social capital, whilst maintaining authenticity in your interpersonal relationships. And as we keep saying, it’s not about the platform or the tool – but you can use various modes of technology to supplement your networking. Getting out of your comfort zone matters too – truly effective networking is always unscripted. Finally, you need to know that David is a past master at networking a book launch, building a great marketing ecosystem and bonus product selection around the content, and being very clear about how people will benefit from it. (Sign up on the title link above, to observe this in action). And as he does point out, writing a book about networking is a great way to grow your network! Make sure you check out David’s website for more information, and his TEDx talk, ‘How to Hack Networking’.   27.17 Satellite, Cluster and Nebula Teams: What do you mean by that? And again it’s great to welcome another returning guest (from episodes 77 95 and 117!); our good friend from Virtual Team Talk Mark Kilby is an agile coach and author, and explains he needed better ways of describing different configurations of team set-up. Satellite teams revolve around a central hub – like a main office, where most are colocated. Clusters happen in larger organisations, with groups coalescing in different locations. Clusters may be near (perhaps even by floors in a building), or far distant from each other, perhaps by many time zones. Nebulas are truly out in space – genuinely diffuse clouds of people, remote, collaborating and communicating completely virtually. Mark and Joanna Rothman will explain more in their upcoming book “From Chaos to Successful Distributed Agile Teams”, and we’ll welcome then back to be future ‘voices behind the book’ to hear more.   33.19 Tools: Linoit Lino.it is one of the simplest online planning tools, completely browser-based and no account necessary (though there is a mobile app). The beauty is in just being able to share a link and have everyone jump in and start collaborating. It’s very simple and frictionless to use. It’s great for brainstorming, thought-dumping, idea capture – using virtual post-it notes, which you can move and pin and cluster at will, with intuitive drag-and-drop ease. And it’s free – what’s not to like? 36.10 Oh no, my team’s gone remote... And I’m afraid we’ll lose visibility within the organisation! Just as it’s important to stay visible to each other as you transition to an office-optional setting, you may also need to initiate and engineer opportunities for connection and collaboration between your team and the rest of the organisation, indeed, your wider industry and world.  You can become more conscious of your networks and connections, and use the tools and opportunities you’re given, both to make your own team’s activities visible, but also to pick up on what else is going on, and further potential for collaboration.  How can you map your network, and see who is already connected to whom, formally or informally? As with much in the remote working world, intentionality is important. It’s all about relationships and networking after all. Celebrate your accomplishments, intentionally bridge the distances, and keep your networks and constellations strong.

Jordan Harbinger built a successful brand from podcasting for 12 years. He’s done close to 900 interviews with top performers. But something changed recently. He reached out to me via email. And I knew I needed to get him on the show right away. He told me that he didn’t like his brand anymore. He didn’t like what it was morphing into. “I was becoming disillusioned,” Jordan said. So he took a step back. And after what he thought was an amicable split from his partners, he and his team got fired. PAUSE. This is awful. I’ve been through my own terrible losses before. So I can say fully that what Jordan did next was the definition of a true entrepreneur.

Most of us hate networking. But that could be because we’re doing it wrong. In an episode full of tips on networking without feeling slimy, Daniel Pink talks with David Burkus, author of Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career.

Networking. You’re told it’s something you need to do to advance your professional life, but the tactics most “networking professionals” suggest either don’t work or make you feel icky and awkward.  My guest today argues that you don’t have to go to networking events or hand out business cards left and right to network effectively. You just need to realize you're already embedded in a really effective network right now.  His name is David Burkus. He’s a professor of leadership and the author of the book "Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career." Today on the show, David shares what’s wrong with most traditional networking tactics and why they’re not really effective. We then dig into the power of the network you already belong to. David explains what dormant weak ties are, why it can be beneficial to silo yourself off from others, how to balance siloing with connecting, and how to turn work-friends into friend-friends and friend-friends into work-friends. Lots of great counterintuitive insights in this episode.

David Burkus, best-selling author and Associate Professor of Leadership and Innovation at Oral Roberts University, joins host Stew Friedman to discuss his new book, "Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career" on Work and Life.

David Burkus is a best-selling author and associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University. His latest book, Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career, offers a new perspective on how to grow networks and build key connections—one based on the science of human behavior, not rote networking advice. His TED talk has been viewed over 1.8 million times and he is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. Stew and David talk about how most people find networking and mixers uncomfortable at best; networking can make people feel actually dirty. David has reviewed and distilled the research literature on social capital and he offers something other than the cookie-cutter advice that can feel inauthentic. He recommends exploring the edges of one’s hidden or neglected network -- one’s weak and dormant ties -- and getting to know people in multifaceted ways by being genuinely curious about their lives rather than by pursuing purely instrumental, career-related questions. They discuss methods and tools for cultivating networks of support, including Contactually, which David uses to let him know when he has not contacted someone. Check out Stew’s earlier conversation with David about his previous book, Under New Management. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There is no such thing as the self-made man. While I can certainly understand and even appreciate the gesture, the truth is that every successful man had some help along the way. That help usually comes in the form of others. My guest today is David Burkus. He is the author of Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Career. Today, we talk about the power of "weak ties," how to leverage "preferential attachment," how to become a super connector, and how to tap into your hidden networks. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS How to find your hidden networks The power of "weak ties" How to develop silos and clusters of networks How to become a super connector Why building teams are critical to your networking success How to leverage "preferential attachment" The difference between mixers and activities The science of networking Connecting over strange ties How to develop stronger social capital Why the adage, "who you know" isn't the whole story Overcoming and utilizing the "illusion of majority" The benefits of becoming a network broker DAVID BURKUS Today, I have the honor of introducing you to my friend, David Burkus.

David Burkus is author of “Friend of a Friend: Understanding the Hidden Networks That Can Transform Your Life and Your Career.” David has delivered keynotes to leaders of Fortune 500 companies and future leaders of the United States Naval Academy. His TED talk has been viewed almost 2 million times and he is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. What if the advice we have all heard about networking is wrong? David outlines the right way to network in the modern age. How do you meet people? How do you meet the right people? Once you meet those people, what do you do with the relationship? Maybe you haven’t talked to someone for a few years but you could still call him or her up and have a personal talk with them. This is an example of one of the most useful networking ties, known as a “dormant tie.” David uses UFC founders, Dana White and Lorenzo Lamas, as an example. They went to high school together, hadn’t talked for years, both had a passion for fighting, but lived in different spheres of the fighting community. After reconnecting at a high school get together they realized they had some aligning career aspirations. They ended up buying the UFC and made it the fastest growing sport in history. When you start taking chances on meeting people and putting yourself out there, that is when your network really expands. David shares another example of a movie producer who got his foot in the door by getting creative, taking some risks, and reaching out to the right people for conversations. Who do you know? Who do your friends know? Where do you know them from? These are basic questions that can get the ball rolling when trying to expand your network. Knowing a ton of people is not necessary to be successful, you just need to know the right people to give yourself credibility. Shared activities and hobbies are ways to draw in a set of diverse people to build deep relationships. Networking events have become a thing of the past (thank goodness).
