All,<br />
<br />
Thanks for your comments. They stimulated me to think about when I respond affirmatively to implicit or explicit requests for help. Here are my "10 rules" for helping. As I wrote them, I realized that they generally apply whether the subject is a professional issue in competitive intelligence or helping someone in the community.<br />
<br />
1. I help when I am pretty sure that there is something in it for me. The nearer the benefit, the more likely I am to help someone.<br />

Thanks for your comments. They stimulated me to think about when I respond affirmatively to implicit or explicit requests for help. Here are my "10 rules" for helping. As I wrote them, I realized that they generally apply whether the subject is a professional issue in competitive intelligence or helping someone in the community.<br />
<br />
1. I help when I am pretty sure that there is something in it for me. The nearer the benefit, the more likely I am to help someone.<br />
<br />
2. I help when I am asked specifically and personally to help. I respond infrequently to broad (i.e., addressed to large groups) requests for help.<br />
<br />
3. I help when the subject of the request is a cause that I believe in or that inspires me.<br />
<br />
4. I help when asked by someone that I like, admire or want to get to know.<br />
<br />
5. I help when I feel that there is something specific that I know or can do to address the request.<br />
<br />
6. I help to return a favor that was given to me.<br />
<br />
7. I help (though with less enthusiasm) when my role demands that I help someone.<br />
<br />
8. I help when I see someone struggling through no (little?) fault of their own.<br />
<br />
9. I help when I think that the help will be sincerely appreciated.<br />
<br />
10. Finally, I help when it makes me feel good about myself.<br />
<br />

It was a very simple gesture of trust. They trusted me and I trust them.<br />

Tom,<br />
<br />
I think it is the human ego and the primordial instinct for survival that we become selfish.<br />
<br />
Each one of us has core competence that cannot be subsituted.<br />
<br />
Once we are confident in our abilities and we know that our Insight adds value, maybe people start sharing.<br />
<br />
If we operate as a Consortium and brain storm, each one of us will learn from the other.<br />
<br />
Wisdom shared helps us respect each other.<br />

KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE<br />
Who were they?<br />
<br />
The Round Table - first mentioned by Wace (1155) in his "Roman de Brut" - was not only a physical table, but the highest Order of Chivalry at the Court of King Arthur. Its members were supposedly the cream of the British military who followed a strict code of honour and service. Sir Thomas Malory outlines this as:<br />
<br />
To never do outrage nor murder<br />
<br />
Always to flee treason<br />
<br />
To by no means be cruel but to give mercy unto him who asks for mercy<br />
<br />
To always do ladies, gentlewomen and widows succor<br />
<br />
To never force ladies, gentlewomen or widows<br />
<br />
Not to take up battles in wrongful quarrels for love or worldly goods<br />
<br />
Giovanni Boccaccio in his "De Casibus Virorum Illustrium" further says that the twelve basic rules of the Knights of the Round Table were:<br />
<br />
To never lay down arms<br />
<br />
To seek after wonders<br />
<br />
When called upon, to defend the rights of the weak with all one's strength<br />
<br />
To injure no one<br />
<br />
Not to attack one another<br />
<br />
To fight for the safety of one's country<br />
<br />
To give one's life for one's country<br />
<br />
To seek nothing before honour<br />
<br />
Never to break faith for any reason<br />
<br />
To practice religion most diligently<br />
<br />
To grant hospitality to anyone, each according to his ability<br />
<br />

Agree with most everything said, especially the parts I read :)<br />
<br />
My two cents is: 20 years ago I knew about 20 people well in terms of a professional network. Today I still know and collaborate with about half of those original 20 people, plus I now have what we all call a virtual network that includes a few thousand people. These social networks enable us to help people in a one-to-one relationship as well as a one-to-many relationship. For example, Tom, your list of eight helped me think…

<br />
In short... like the TV.... we now have hundreds of channels to spread our time with, rather than just three channels.... so fewer deep sharing opportunities and many more touch points for simple sharing.<br />
<br />
<br />
By the way, how can I help you?<br />
