Paula works in R&D at Pinnacle Inc. She has already established a number of work relationships with a colleague in Marketing (LeRoy), a colleague in Sales (Stacy), and a colleague in Operations (Peter), none of whom know each other. In order to start a new product team, she will soon bring all of these currently disparate individuals together for a weekly team meeting. When considering only her relationships to LeRoy, Stacy, and Peter, Paula’s planned action will: Increase the density of her egocentric network because she is connecting people in her network who would otherwise be disconnected Increase the composition of her egocentric network because her connections are becoming more varied Create structural holes Increase the likelihood of a bottleneck within the network in which she operates
