Book details
Overview
Everyone knows that relationships are important in business and in life and there are scores of networking books in the marketplace. But nonetheless, people fail to spend sufficient time building efficient and effective social networks and therefore suffer in their careers. This book, based on a Stanford case study and the extensive experience of someone who was the youngest person to serve on Stanford University's Board of Trustees and who has been able to raise substantial investment funds in a difficult environment, describes not just the foundation of his success but offers practical advice about what you can do---tomorrow--to begin building a more successful career.

Everyone knows that networking is important for business success, but few people do it adequately or effectively. That is because people sometimes see networking as an odious task, as something that they are not good at doing, and as not being authentic.

Ross Walker not only nicely illustrates some important networking principles--such as becoming central, bridging unrelated groups, and spending time on relationships--but also provides practical answers to frequently-asked questions so that you can begin building your networking skills immediately.
