Acerca de esta escucha
What if the best way to grow your network isn't by introducing yourself to strangers at cocktail parties, handing out business cards, or signing up for the latest online tool, but by developing a better understanding of the existing network that's already around you?
We know that it's essential to reach out and build your network. But did you know that it's actually your weaker or former contacts who will be the most helpful to you? Or that many of our best efforts at meeting new people simply serve up the same old opportunities we already have?
In this startling new look at the art and science of networking, business school professor David Burkus digs deep to find the unexpected secrets that reveal the best ways to grow your universe.
Based upon entertaining case studies and scientific research, this practical and revelatory guide shares what the best networkers really do...and it looks a lot less like collecting business cards and making random introductions and a lot more like fostering authentic connections and seeking out diverse new voices.
Forget the outdated advice you've already heard. Learn how to make use of the hidden networks you already have.

In Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi lays out the specific steps - and inner mindset - he uses to reach out to connect with the thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates on his contacts list, people he has helped and who have helped him. And in the time since Never Eat Alone was published in 2005, the rise of social media and new, collaborative management styles have only made Ferrazzi’s advice more essential for anyone hoping to get ahead in business.

Stop networking. Seriously, stop doing it. Now. It is time to ditch the old networking-for networking's-sake mentality in favor of a more powerful and effective approach to creating and enhancing connections. In Superconnector, Scott Gerber and Ryan Paugh reveal a new category of professionals born out of the social media era: highly valuable community-builders who make things happen through their keen understanding and utilization of social capital. Superconnectors understand the power of relationship-building, problem-solve by connecting the dots at high levels.

Historia
It’s undeniable that we’re entering a new era of remote work. While many leaders seek to run business as usual, why settle for the usual when remote teams allow us to work even better? The research shows that employees are more productive and engaged when they have the freedom to work from anywhere.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Why are some people and teams more motivated, more innovative, and more successful than others? Why do some teams of talented and seemingly compatible people fail short against lesser teams with less suitable members? Why do some leaders cast bold inspiring visions that fail to materialize, while other, seemingly inconsequential leaders rally their teams to victory? More often than not, it's actually quite simple: They picked a fight.

There's no shortage of networking and entrepreneurship advice in books and on social media in today's world-but it's harder than ever to know what's authentic. To make matters worse, taking the wrong advice can result in superficial connections, transactional relationships, and unsatisfying interactions with others without any real rapport. Fortunately, as entrepreneur and marketer extraordinaire Joe Polish has discovered, there's a simple (though sometimes not easy) way out that begins with one question: "What's in it for them?"

Our professional relationships are the most important asset we have when it comes to growing our careers and our businesses. Most people think of this as “networking”. But in today’s hyperconnected market, the most cost-effective and high-return route to new, repeat, and referral business is through our existing networks, not through adding more social media “friends” and “connections”. This transformative guide from relationship marketing expert Zvi Band shows you how to deepen your personal connections to achieve your professional goals.

One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the “gift-of-gab”. You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all. Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking.

But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

Historia
In 1998, three Harvard Business School graduates - two men and one woman - turned down six-figure salaries at big corporations, bet on themselves, and launched their own new companies. By their 10-year reunion, their audacity had paid huge dividends. They'd made many millions of dollars, created hundreds of jobs and left their mark on the world. The Intelligent Entrepreneur tells the compelling and instructive story of how these three young founders did it.

Historia
On the one hand we aren’t surprised by the uncertainty of everyday life, but on the other we believe that success can be analyzed and planned for. It is a revealing paradox. The implications are explosive and they obliterate every common-sense notion we have about strategy and planning. The Click Moment is about two very simple but highly provocative ideas.

Historia
Buying groceries, tracking our health, finding a date: whatever we want to do, odds are that we can now do it online. But few of us ask how all these digital products are designed, or why. It's time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who's not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars.

But complexity isn't destiny. Sull and Eisenhardt argue there's a better way: by developing a few simple yet effective rules, you can tackle even the most complex problems.

In December 2009, Google began customizing its search results for each user. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. According to MoveOn.org board president Eli Pariser, Google's change in policy is symptomatic of the most significant shift to take place on the Web in recent years: the rise of personalization.

Historia
For innovation and leadership guru Hal Gregersen, the power of questions has always been clear - but it took some years for the follow-on question to hit him: If so much depends on fresh questions, shouldn’t we know more about how to arrive at them? That sent him on a research quest ultimately including more than 200 interviews with creative thinkers. Questions Are the Answer delivers the insights Gregersen gained about the conditions that give rise to catalytic questions - and breakthrough insights - and how anyone can create them.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur, or a not-for-profit leader, there's no shortage of advice on such topics as writing a business plan, recruiting, raising capital, and branding. In fact there are so many books, articles, and websites that many startups get bogged down to the point of paralysis, or they focus on the wrong priorities and go broke before they discover their mistakes.

Insightful and practical
This book is filled with solid research. While it's likely all examples are cherry-picked to fit perfectly with points he made, the suggestions for practical application (face-to-face and online through social media) appear legitimate. I'm in a space where I'm growing my company's influence and this book is part of my game plan.

The reality of human networks - How to Navigate, Create & Use them!
KEY Takeaways:
1- Why people cluster or hang out together
2- How to create influential networks
3- How to be everywhere and omnipresent
4- Reality of us being connected (6th degree of connection)
5- How our friends influence us and we influence them

By far the best I have read about networks. It is really raw and to the point. The author offers the main ideas and then offers you free resources to be able to execute accordingly.

Thought provoking
David has developed a masterful book that describes the social power of weak interactions. Interesting topic for me as many of the same thoughts/principles I have observed in a different topic matter - biological communication in cancer cells. I have been amazed at how often a small number of almost benign genetic mutations can lead to undesirable health outcomes.
In friend of a friend David shows that similar "weak" social interactions can lead to significant social outcomes. I have listen to it twice during my marathon training, finding it thought provoking and useful on many levels.
Thanks for a great book and the useful case studies !

Reinforcing the Power of the Human Network
What I liked: Interesting stories, an appropriate amount of studies and facts, and plenty of suggestions for implementing suggestions in the book in your life. I also like the online resources that are available.
What I didn’t like: I can’t think of anything.
Quality of Narration: I didn’t care much for the narrator’s voice, but it didn’t take away from the material.
I found it interesting how much similarity there was in this book and ‘Givers and Takers’ by Adam Grant. I wouldn’t recommend them back-to-back like I listened to them. A bit of distance between the two might have helped reinforce the ideas without seeming as repetitive. I understand this was totally coincidental though.
The way relationships impact our lives is something we might all think we understand, but the stories and studies in this book reiterated how important they are. I’d recommend this book to anyone who wishes to better understand the relations between people and how you can be a better example of this.

Thoughtful, well researched and challenging
David pulls together some excellent research and makes great conclusions. The ideas in the book challenge us to think more deeply about the way our friends affect us and the effect we have on our friends. We are more dependent on each other than we'd like to believe. And the research cited in this book back it up. We don't have a network, we're part of one. And we can use that network for good or we can allow ourselves to be influenced by forces we don't understand. The choice is up to up. The author challenges us to be purposeful with our relationships and to improve our contribution so we improve our community. I'll listen to this one again.

It is all about your friends and their friends
David Burkus audiobook, Friend of a Friend, was an enlightening book for me. For decades business people have been told to go to networking events to find that spark of a business relationship. Burkus tells us that, in general, you are wasting your time.
It is better for you to focus on relationships you already have and extend yourself from there. The book was interesting, enjoyable, and most of all, pertinent to my business life. Well Done.

Warning, this book may adjust your perspective on
A friend of mine suggested this book to me after reading some of my own writings on networks, connections, and things I think I'm missing. This book applies the science to things I've personally experienced for quite a while and provide some insights that I'm not quite sure I've Digested just yet.
