BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about actions to grow social capital according to Lecture 3.1 and provides four options. 
Option 1: 'Delete old connections to make room for new ones.' This implies pruning relationships to make space, but social capital is built by quality and ongoing value in relationships, not simply removing ties. Deleting connections can undermine trust and reduce potential access to resources found through established networks. 
Option 2: 'Focus only on adding new connections.' Merely accumulating contacts without maintaining and leveraging existing ones neglects the reciprocity, depth, and trust that turn connections into social capital. New connections are valuable, but without nurturing current ones, the network remains shallow. 
Option 3: 'Only connect with people in your immediate industry.' Limiting to one sphere reduces diversity of information, opportunities, and perspectives. Cross-industry or cross-role connections often provide novel resources and ideas, which are essential for robust social capital. 
Option 4: 'Audit your network, make room for new connections, bring them into your circle, and provide value without expectation.' This option emphasizes evaluating current ties, freeing capacity for meaningful new relationships, integrating them into the social circle, and contributing value without ulterior motives. It aligns with best practices for cultivating social capital: intentional curation, inclusivity, trust-building, and reciprocity, all while expanding the circle with high-quality, value-generating relationships. 
Across all choices, the key themes are maintenance, strategic expansion, and reciprocal value; the fourth option best captures these elements by combining assessment, bandwidth management, integration, and altruistic value provision.
