Is Your Network Full Of Turkeys Or Eagles?

Are you an eagle or a turkey networker?  Who is in your network?

Eagles fly high are able to see a lot from a long way away. They have a keen eye and are very good at big picture thinking. They know an awful lot of people, but not that many intimately. They have independent thoughts and are fairly self reliant.



A turkey keeps close to the ground, they cover an awful lot of mileage in a day, yet all activity is within quite a confined area. They have in depth knowledge of a lot of things and know a lot of people but just within their pen or field.



In your network it’s good to have a mix of turkeys and eagles. Eagles tend to have lofty job titles and are great at giving you a different perspective, in contrast Turkeys are a real valuable source of information, they have such a huge network of contacts they always know someone who can help you even if they can’t.
