This statement screams organization to me - a skill I am still working on perfecting. Though upon further reading of the chapter I had a fun discovery, they are talking about....you guessed it: networking! Knowing people and being able to talk with them and utilize what we learn is called network intelligence. The authors talk a lot about the I(we) formula, even though we are working on the start up of ourselves, we can only do it with the help of others and by helping others.
There are some great stories about how people they know used their network intelligence. Gathering information should be spread out among a variety of people with different points of view to help you get a well rounded idea. After gathering information they suggest to synthesize what you have learned. This means to analyze what you learned from who, think about their biases, are there exaggerations? Being able to dissect what you hear from people and only take what is relevant to what you need to know is a talent that is important and can be perfected for your benefit.
