With old command- and-control methods replaced by openness and transparency, networking has become an essential professional skill- 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. 590 O'Reilly|bO'Reilly Online Learning: Academic/Public Library Edition 650 0 Business communication. 650 0 Interpersonal communication. 650 0 Business networks. 650 6 Communication dans l'entreprise. 650 6 Communication interpersonnelle. 650 6 Réseaux d'affaires. 650 7 Business communication|2fast 650 7 Business networks|2fast 650 7 Interpersonal communication|2fast 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBaber, Anne.|tStrategic Connections : The New Face of Networking in a Collaborative World.|dNew York : AMACOM, ©2015|z9780814434963 856 40 |uhttps://ezproxy.naperville-lib.org/login?url=https:// learning.oreilly.com/library/view/~/9780814434963/?ar |zAvailable on O'Reilly for Public Libraries 938 Books 24x7|bB247|nbkb00076603 938 Coutts Information Services|bCOUT|n30218466 938 EBL - Ebook Library|bEBLB|nEBL1707780 994 92|bJFN
