Networlding: Building Relationships and Opportunities for Success

Rating:
Summary: Lots of talk, very little actionable ideas
Review: This book is full of grand stories, but I didn't find a lot of actionable ideas for my own life. I found it a struggle to finish reading the book. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Insightful!
Review: Tired of schmoozing at cheesy networking functions? Would you rather strangle that next contact than give him your business card? Authors Melissa Giovagnoli and Jocelyn Carter-Miller offer a better way to do business. They advise you to build relationships for long-term mutual gain, not short-term self-interest. This shouldn't be a revolutionary concept. But, as the authors persuasively argue, business relationships often suffer due to narrow, short-term thinking. While the authors occasionally repeat themselves, the writing is lively and full of concrete examples that can help you develop deeper business relationships. We [...] recommend it to anyone who wants to develop more meaningful, productive connections for fun, profit and purpose.
