The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Highly connected individuals: they have a lot of relationships of different people. They really help anchor an organization - Andreas Hoffbauer, PhD

Peripheral players: people who are connected but they're not at the center of gravity. They're the ones who are able to introduce new ideas that might push against the norms of the group because they have a bit of that shielding - Andreas Hoffbauer

Cross-cutting ties: individuals who connect completely different aspects and different parts of an organization ... these individuals bring the organization together strategically, intellectually, and really importantly culturally - Andreas Hoffbauer

Each unique type brings an attribute and behavior that strengthens the group.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
