Using The Modern Networking Organization As A Dynastic Model

The following compares the idea of Networlding vs Networking .
Look closely and you will see similarities with the principles of the The Good Sons Club and our concept of

The Dynamic Family Table.

As mentioned in yesterdays post, the modern networking organization represents an opportunity for the wise dynast.
  • One opportunity: model the best groups. Model them for their ideas on building relationships.
  • Second, the opportunity to use networking groups as a means to intelligently expand the family's influence.
  • Also, using networking groups offers a way to create opportunity.
  • In addition, family leaders will have an opportunity to mitigate the influence peer groups have upon individaul family members. Allowing for peer groups to have positive influences, but doing so within the context of family. Thus, preventing peer groups from replacing family.
I would also stress that a family that has disparate occupations should especially use the model. Families that share a stake in a family business or occupation of course benefit. However, it is the family with disparate occupations that needs to unite around the concept of consciously and systematically uniting around shared relationships.
Adam Bellow in his book "In Praise of Nepotism" points out how the Kennedy family formed relationships that acted like "concentric rings" around the central core of the family. This was done by consciously networking and developing relationships.
If family is important, then have an importnat family!
