Fun With Networking: 2010

Sunday, December 19, 2010

Happy Holidays

We seem to be entering a quiet period, with not much happening in terms of business networking meetings. So, "This Week in Philadelphia" will take a few weeks off, picking up after the holidays.

In the mean time, this is a good time to plan for next year, or to reach out to people to make networking connections. While a lot of people take off for the holidays, there are just as many people who don't. They take advantage of the quiet time at work to come into the office and get organized. This is an excellent time to reach out, as the people who are in the office have the time to talk (and think).

Six Things We Can Learn by Remembering the Alamo!

I just got back from a few days in San Antonio, and of course I went to the Alamo. There were a few things about the Alamo story that stood out for me. They are not directly related to networking, but I think they are related to taking risks and keeping your eye on your goal.

The basic story is well-known: a 26-year-old named William B. Travis and a little under 200 others were besieged by a Mexican army numbering in the thousands. They were rebels, trying to win Texas independence from the centralist Mexican dictatorship of Santa Anna. Spurning Santa Anna’s demands that he surrender, Travis held out for weeks, pleading for assistance in holding the Alamo, but ultimately the Mexicans overwhelmed the Alamo and killed the defenders to a man (women, children, and slaves being spared).

Travis is widely seen as a man of vision:

He felt the Alamo was strategic to the success of the Texas revolt
His leadership inspired the defenders to remain despite overwhelming odds
He understood that surrender meant execution as a rebel and traitor
Delaying Santa Anna at the Alamo would allow Sam Houston to mobilize the army that would ultimately defeat Santa Anna
Heroic failure, defending the cause of independence to the last man, would galvanize the revolt

We still “Remember the Alamo.”

Contrast that to the fate of Col. James W. Fannin, Jr., in command of around 300 men in the nearby town of Goliad, Texas. Fannin had tried to respond to Travis’ call for assistance, but his wagons got bogged down a few miles from Goliad. Fearful that a Mexican force was on its way to Goliad, he abandoned his efforts and reinforced his position. The Alamo fell about a week later.

About two weeks after the fall of the Alamo, Fannin was retreating from Goliad, bogged down again with his wagons, when he was engaged by a larger Mexican force. After a pitched battle in which 70 of his men were killed or wounded, Fannin surrendered.

He and his men were taken out of Goliad and summarily shot. Few people know about the Goliad Massacre now, and “Remember Goliad” is now a rallying cry for nothing.

“So, what has this to do with networking?” you ask. To me, the answer is this:

Bold action is remembered
Inspire others, and great things can be accomplished
Be part of something that is bigger than yourself
“Playing it safe” is not a path to success
Don’t get bogged down
You can surrender and die as a victim, or fight and die as a hero
