Negative Networking and Bridge Burning
After years of networking with individuals I began to notice something rather interesting and I just thought it was about time I share this with you all. I believe there is something called; Negative Networking and is more akin to Bridge Burning. It comes from several unfortunate scenarios during business networking events.
One of the most interesting things I have seen over the years was people who get into clashes over politics at networking events. Generally most business people will be fairly pro-business and often puts them into a more Libertarian or Republic Perspective or at least that is the way it use to be, now you just never know. I have watched people burn bridges and end up doing negative networking.
Occasionally, I would watch a competitor at a networking event get into a clash and not more than ten minutes later the person they were talking to was all over me trying to become close friends. Interestingly, enough my competitor and I would normally be on the same page when it came to politics. Nevertheless, I would not start in on the politics issue, yet welcomed the new networking partner that my competitor upset, so consider all this in 2006.
