ABSTRACT
Almost all of us who have had a good career have had someone to help us in some way. Coworkers provided support and resources for doing our job better. Supervisors showed us new and better ways of doing our work and provided cover when we needed it most. Friends and powerful acquaintances provided access to in©uential people and opened doors for us to obtain favorable assignments and positions. All these people went the extra mile for us and oŸen overlooked our ©aws and emphasized our positive qualities to others. Close connections make the work experience better and easier.
