3、but we are more likely than our male peers to hide our talents and ourselves behind the water cooler at the company. And this failure to chat is holding us back.

Gaining it takes time and effort. “There are sound economic reasons for the importance of social capital-this is
9、 not just the old boys club dressed up. Oliver Williamson won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2009 for his work on transaction costs.

Women do their jobs in a quiet professional man
11、ner and dont tell everybody what a good job they are doing. Headhunters tend to look for people who are visible.“ Head hunters, who select most of those who fill the positions in top 100 companies boardrooms, are increasingly using a service called BoardEx to judge candidates.

12、ients, it profiles 380 , 000 businessmen and analyses their personal contacts.

14、s, and get help in return. You need to accept that it is a game. You are not helping your organization if you are in the corner hiding behind a pot plant.“Networking is not all champagne and pastry. It involves planning and research as much as charm. Linda Duberley, a networking veteran, says:“ Its
15、loads of work and its not for the fainthearted or the shy.

16、rity work, my professional life and my personal life, and its about knitting it all together and joining the dots. You insert yourself at a given point, spray your card around and meet people. Then you invite them on to something else. You have to be so disciplined with yourself. I carry a notebook
17、around with me, always. “Pryce-Jones argues that women should be less ashamed about using networks, and trying to become more visible. “Its all about finding a strategy that works for you.
