You're The Connector
The glue between teams, departments, and time zones.
You see the missing link between two people before anyone else does. Your "you two should talk" is the most valuable email you send — and you send it constantly. You are the informal org chart that no one has ever drawn.

The data doesn't lie
If this is you, you'll recognize every single one of these.
- ✓Your top correspondents span at least 5 different company domains
- ✓You've gotten 3+ people jobs, introductions, or opportunities they wouldn't have found otherwise
- ✓People CC you not because you're in the chain of command — but because you know someone who is
- ✓You've introduced teams who didn't know each other existed, and the result shipped
- ✓Your external network is considered a company asset, even if it's never been mapped
The honest version
Every archetype has two sides.
The invisible org chart. You ARE the relationships that other people spend months trying to build. You know who in procurement can fast-track an approval. Who in engineering will actually read the spec. Who at the partner company has the authority to move.
None of your connections are written down anywhere. When you leave, your successor gets a blank Rolodex and a polite handshake from people who used to get things done on your name alone.
You know the type
The Connector energy looks like this.
When a Connector leaves, the company loses its informal relationship network overnight. Every future introduction takes 3x longer. Deals that would have moved on a phone call now require 4 email threads and a formal contract process. The relationships don't transfer automatically.
For the manager reading this
Make sure your Connector's network knowledge is mapped before they go.
