Features: The techniques and tools in this book will help you build and maintain good relationships with others, enhancing both your work and life. For some people, building a network of relationships is as simple as meeting or calling someone they've never met before, and then going their separate ways. Based on this narrow understanding, a network of relationships is merely an exchange relationship established between two parties seeking some common benefit. They either engage in some form of exchange or immediately look for the next target. In this context, networking becomes highly "transactional," much like buying and selling or haggling. In this book, the scope of networking goes far beyond this. Whether for businesses, organizations, or individuals, it is an important social and life skill. The "relationship building" aspect of networking is a long-term cognitive process for oneself and others, as well as a recognition process of discovering that certain things cannot be accomplished alone and require collaboration from others. Therefore, we will extensively explore how to systematically build an effective network of relationships, turning it into a personal strategy. At the same time, we will also focus on how networking connects you with more people, helping you gain more—regardless of what this "more" means to you.
