The Building Blocks of Social Networks
There are three main styles of networking that people tend to use when navigating the social world:
- Conveners tend to form close, interconnected groups. They tend to have social networks populated by mutual friends.
- Brokers tend to have social networks that overlap less. If you’re a broker, you may have several friend groups that don’t interact with each other.
- Expansionists are social butterflies—they tend to have extremely large social networks with numerous acquaintances.
