   I love the takeaway – if restrictive norms and emotional contagion, then diversify, if uncontrollable inter-dependencies and excessive demand, then consolidate.

   I thought this description was really insightful! I’ll look out for those two types of networks, and keep in mind their strengths and possible pitfalls

   Summary:

   He characterized two types of social networks that were especially useful for describing people at work, and valid across cultures, industries, etc.
   Then four traps: toxic networks that led to burnout, with high predictability

   Type I: Cohesive. Everyone’s interconnected. Strong relationships with connections. Connections know each other, and talk with each other frequently
   Positives:
   -can rely on support during crisis or emergency
   -recognition and validation
   -info spreads quickly and effectively
   -coordinate fast, implement your ideas quickly
   Negatives:
   -(Trap 1) Norms of behavior emerge. When they become too strong, can be binding and create situation where personal interest diverges significantly from group. Stifling of creativity, individuality, and sometimes personal needs. Ex. people who feel trapped in an abusive marriage because of community norms.
   -(Trap 2) Echo chamber of emotions. This becomes a bad thing when negative emotions get amplified. These negative emotions spread to everyone.

   ——-> Diversify your network. Cultivate relationships outside this cohesive network

   Type II: Open. Your connections don’t know each other/have little awareness of each other
   Positives:
   -exposed to very different info, perspectives, thinking patterns
   -develop skill at seeing things from very different angles
   -skill at translating ideas from one context to another, combining ideas
   -control over the info transmitted, which is powerful
   Negatives:
   -(Trap 3) Tasks that require collaboration between these unconnected people can become very difficult and stressful because you may feel like you have no control over the timeliness or quality
   -(Trap 4) Too many people rely on you. Stretched too thin.

   ————> Refocus on your core groups. Help cultivate relationships between your connections

   He recommends a relationship health check every half year or so, and gives specific things to look for to avoid each trap

   I acknowledge the idea of categorizing problems in relationships, it’s my take overall that the presentation could be much better. Because I failed to focus on the idea. the idea speaker is here to share.
