Description
Summary:Social capital - the resources and goodwill of network contacts - can be activated to enhance employees' performance, leadership effectiveness, careers, and overall organisational functioning. Despite years of research highlighting networks' role in addressing business challenges, organisational solutions still overwhelmingly focus on enhancing individual knowledge and skills or changing formal organisational structures and processes. Shifts in the business environment make adding a social capital lens to the historical human capital lens no longer just 'nice to do' but an imperative. Employees and organisations will benefit from carefully considering network connections and intentional efforts to foster their development and use.
