Meeting the requirements for individuals with strong networking skills using clear examples. [5]
Charity and Voluntary work that is how i think i have met this requirement in the past. i have engaged in at least six(6) organisations and written more than five recommendations to Government organisations on various change and adaption strategies with examples from developed countries. However, my reports were usually buried behind desk and on one visit to the organisation evidently indicated that the report was not even read let alone considered.
One of such recommendation is the creation of a National Insurance scheme, which i submitted to to relevant government agencies in Nigeria, However, one key finding was evident in my many attempts to create the change that i like to see, and is the idea that one need not only to submit reports or meet people, success of the idea depends on meeting and influencing the right people in order to get the right function, as such the influencing individuals must possess networking and influencing skills. Hence, i honed my social and networking skill, learnt to meet people through people and with that tactics the medical scheme is now active under the banner of the NHIS(Nigeria Health Insurance Scheme).
