Unearthing the challenges of Informal Networks - Do you agree with these myths?

In understanding how an organization, team of some sort or group of people can improve on their efficiency and effectiveness, informal networks have provided some out of the box medium for people to communicate.

Several myths or beliefs about informal networks however exist based upon a person's paridigm view of networking. The question being asked here is how you agree or disagree with three of these myths:

A) Myth 1 - To build better networks we indeed have to communicate more

B) Myth 2 - Everyone should be connected to everyone else

C) Myth 3 - We can't do much to aid informal networks

This blog is based upon an MIT Sloan Management Review Article titled "Six Myths about Informal Networks - and How to Overcome Them" - Spring 2002. This blog is part of the course curriculum for ITEC 656 section 001A - American University MBA Program where i am a student
