Central connectors are the hubs of a network: People regularly seek them out for information. Brokers are those who have ties across subgroups and thus serve to integrate the entire network. As shown here, the three brokers act as bridges across the three divisions. (Note: Some employees can serve as both central connectors and brokers in a network.) Peripheral players are those who reside on the boundaries of a network, only infrequently seeking information from coworkers (and seldom being sought for information by others).
