The Power of Relationships in Your Career: Leadership by Example – Yahoo! Finance
“It’s not what you know, but who you know.”I know this old saw sounds incredibly shallow, and it goes against the grain of the meritocracy we all generally believe creates an even playing field in our schools, organizations, economy, and society at large.
But if you take the time to understand the art and power of relationships and the concept of how the world works through connections as a central component of — not a substitute for — our meritocracy, you might find that your path to success and satisfaction will be greatly accelerated.
In this interesting article, Jim discusses the power of the relationships that we choose to make in the business world and how establishing PERSONAL relationships can make our work not only more productive, but more rewarding as well. Definitely worth a read.
