Friend of a friend ... : understanding the hidden networks that can transform your life and your career  Cover Image Book Book

Friend of a friend ... : understanding the hidden networks that can transform your life and your career / David Burkus.

Summary:

"Burkus shows that most of your best connections do not come from close friends but rather from distant, even long-forgotten contacts; that it's the colleagues and influential acquaintances of your best friends who will play a major role in developing your connections; and that your most valuable network in business has much more to do with how you develop these secondary sources in order to springboard your career"-- Provided by publisher.
