The 5 People Every Ambitious Woman Needs in Her Network (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I used to think having a strong network meant knowing a lot of impressive people.I had worked at places like Morgan Stanley, Google, the Federal Reserve and Sony Music. I had mentors, former bosses I could call, and relationships with executives, founders, creators and people with titles that looked very good on LinkedIn. By most conventional definitions, I was well-networked.What I eventually realized, though, is that a useful network has very little to do with how many impressive people you kn

There was a point in my corporate career when I genuinely believed that if I just kept doing excellent work, eventually the right people would notice.Not in a naive way. I understood that relationships mattered. I knew visibility mattered. I knew politics existed.

But someone with half your substance walks in, speaks with complete certainty, and is immediately treated like the authority.We like to believe that excellence speaks for itself. It does not.People begin forming an impression of you within seconds, before you have made your case or shown a single credential. Th

Read excerpt
You’re probably just like me - you over-prepare for your one-on-ones. You make sure your manager never gets blindsided, you turn things around fast, you make her look good in front of the people she answers to. You’re next in line. She adores you, so it’s handled.Then a role opens up, or promo season rolls around, and it goes to somebody whose work you have personally watched and know is not sharper than yours. Your manager (the one who adores you) was sitting right there when the call got made.
