The connectorconnector

The connector is the role of introducing the mentee to the right people in one's network. One of a mentor's most valuable resources is the web of relationships built over the years; in this role the mentor opens that network to the service of the mentee. A good introduction often opens more doors than a long piece of advice. The connector can shorten ties that would take the mentee years to build alone. Whom you meet is often as important as what you know.
