520    Today's organizations are collaborative. With old command-
       and-control methods replaced by openness and transparency,

       expected of everyone, at every level. Unveiling eight 
       indispensable competencies for the new Network-Oriented 
       Workforce, Strategic Connections provides practical advice
       for building better, more productive business 
       relationships. Readers will discover how to: Commit to a 
       positive, proactive networking mindset - Align networking 
       activities with individual and organizational objectives -
       Leverage their contacts by organizing them into strategic 
       groups - Earn trust-a prerequisite for collaboration - 
       Boost their social acumen and increase their likeability -
       Master conversational skills and deepen interactions - 
       Employ storytelling to make communications memorable - Use
       networking to deliver value to the company. Thanks to 
       technology, new contacts are only a click away. But the 
       level of connection and collaboration required for real 
       success demands advanced face-to-face relationship-
       building skills. This book gives you the tools you need to
       meet goals, execute strategies, foster innovation, and 
       make yourself invaluable to your organization.
