Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Effective networks require a balance between the breadth of contacts, meaning having a large number of connections, and depth or strength of contacts, meaning having close, trustworthy relationships with some individuals in the network. This balance ensures access to a wide range of potential opportunities while also having a support system of strong relationships. Option B is incorrect because having only a few deep contacts may limit the scope of opportunities available. Option C is incorrect because non-redundant contacts, those that do not overlap in their connections, may limit opportunities and access to information. Option D is incorrect because a network that recirculates similar insights among themselves may limit exposure to new ideas and opportunities.
