This document lists 38 questions to help build networks of great thinkers by exploring who, what, when, where, why, and how individuals know the people in their networks. The questions are organized into six categories (Who, What, When, Where, Why, How) and probe different aspects of a person's network such as who they know, what they know, when and how they met people, where connections can be made, why certain connections are important, and how well a person knows others in their network. The document was created by researcher and author Gerald Haman and provides a framework to analyze one's professional network.
