This cast gives our guidance on how to stay up to date on what's going on in your company.

One of the skills which separates the successful from the non-successful is their connectedness. They know what's going on in the company and therefore where the opportunities are. It's not all achieved by networking, though there is no such thing as too much networking. In part, it's achieved by knowing what questions to ask of whom.

That means reading and thinking about the information which is available.

Love the new law

Mark,

Trademark your new law on cynical career management and put it on a t-shirt. I've got a large population of people I'd love to give it to.

In fact, I think it should be a standard gift for all who are new to the corporate world.

Thank you for the great cast.

 I am executive director of a small airport of 23 employees. However, the same steps in this cast could easily be applied to my professional organization of American Association of Airport Executives. Thank you.

Joshua.

I liked the part about the

I liked the part about the tortoise and the hare, which goes back to Quadrant II thinking from 7 Habits. I am frequently under pressure for doing things the slower way -- I started a year before I finished graduate school to start networking, and ended up with a fantastic job (at least then, it's degenerated now). Others I work with are rush rush rush, and I see them missing things. I hope that the networking I have been doing, the relationships I have built, and the goodwill will payoff. It has in the past, I just need to faith since I'm caught in the middle right now.
