How to Build Your Network by Brian Uzzi and Shannon Dunlap Many sensational ideas have faded away into obscurity because they failed to reach the right people. A strong personal network, however, can launch a burgeoning plan into the limelight. Uzzi and Dunlap show you how to assess what kind of network you currently have, helping you to identify your superconnectors and demonstrating how you act as an information broker for others. How Leaders Create and Use Networks by Herminia Ibarra and Mark Hunter Most people acknowledge that networking is an essential activity for an ambitious manager. For some, this is a distasteful reality. But even people who understand that networking is a legitimate part of their jobs can be discouraged by the payoff—because they are doing it in a limited fashion. Based on their study of 30 emerging leaders, the authors outline three distinct forms of networking: operational networking, personal networking, and strategic networking that will serve aspiring leaders well. Developing Professional Networks will help you cultivate the long-lasting and influential relationships critical to career success.
