Lilia asks,

If you think about yourself as a node in knowledge-sharing network, what is important (having in mind both: your own interests and being a part of the network)?

  • Knowing your expertise
  • Knowing others (people, communities), knowing what their expertise and how to contact them\
  • Being able to find information (to do things) or learning resources (to grow)
  • Having opportunities to reflect on your own experiences, to review “pieces of the past” and to construct new ideas
  • Being able to search, to contact, to share, to learn, to create effectively

I’ll add.

  • The ability to say “No” to some Requests. Although you are a node, you have to value yourself as well.
  • Good Personal knowledge management skills so that you’re not tracking it all in your head
