Your impact scales with the network you build, not the tasks you complete

Invest In Relationships
As careers progress, organizations expect results beyond personal capacity. The work shifts from execution to orchestration, shaping culture, and delivering team outcomes.
As your career progresses, organizations expect results beyond your own capacity. The work shifts from personal execution to orchestration, shaping culture, and delivering outcomes the whole team celebrates. Those who collaborate across functions, and learn to speak the organization's dialect, move ideas faster and farther.
Impact compounds when relationship builders create clarity, invite the right voices, and know when to lead and when to follow. Empathy earns access, and access turns into momentum. People start to sponsor your work because you sponsored theirs, and your capacity scales through the coalitions you invest time to build.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
— Helen Keller
