Becoming A Networked Nonprofit Understanding Networks
A Networked Mindset: A Leadership Style
• Leadership through active social participation • Listening and cultivating organizational and
professional networks to achieve the impact • Sharing control of decision-making • Communicating through a network model,
rather than a broadcast model • Openness, transparency, decentralized decision-
making, and collective action. • Being Data Informed, learning from failure
North Carolina Early Childhood Foundation
“Being collaborative and transparent is part of our brand. We intentionally engage multiple organization and people in our work. For example, we formed a Blue Ribbon Committee of 30 of NC's distinguished business, philanthropic, and civic leaders. They provided input into our core principles and strategies and suggested other leaders we should engage to help us achieve our goal of closing the achievement gap and raising outcomes for all children at the end of third grade.”

How social is your organization’s culture? What are some of your challenges?
What: Social networks are
collections of people and
organizations who are connected to
each other in different ways through
common interests or affiliations. A
network map visualize these
connections. Online and offline.
Why: If we understand the basic
building blocks of social networks,
and visually map them, we can
leverage them for our work and
organizations can leverage them for
their campaigns. We bring in new people and resources and save time.

Managing Your Attention Online: Why Is It An Important Networking Skill?
1. When you open email or do social media tasks, does it make you feel anxious? 2. When you are seeking information to curate, have you ever forgotten what it was in
the first place you wanted to accomplish? 3. Do you ever wish electronic information would just go away? 4. Do you experience frustration at the amount of electronic information you need to
process daily? 5. Do you sit at your computer for longer than 30 minutes at a time without getting
up to take a break? 6. Do you constantly check (even in the bathroom on your mobile phone) your email,
Twitter or other online service? 7. Is the only time you're off line is when you are sleeping? 8. Do you feel that you often cannot concentrate? 9. Do you get anxious if you are offline for more than a few hours? 10.Do you find yourself easily distracted by online resources that allow you to avoid
other, pending work?

What’s Your Attention Focusing Score?
• Understand your goals and priorities and ask yourself at regular intervals whether your current activity serves your higher priority.
• Notice when your attention has
wandered, and then gently bringing it back to focus on your highest priority
• Sometimes in order to learn or deepen
relationships -- exploring from link to link is permissible – and important. Don’t make attention training so rigid that it destroys flow.
