About
A new edition of Devora Zack's classic bestseller (over 120,000 sold in 15 languages) on networking techniques that leverage the strengths of the mingling-averse, updated throughout, with two new chapters.
An international bestseller, Devora Zack's book flipped networking on its head, challenging the narrative that most books on networking recommended, which offered little or even bad advice for the 25 percent of the population who are introverts. In contrast, Zack tells introverts that they do not need to mimic extroverted networking styles, and instead shows how introverts' natural traits can actually be highly successful networking strategies. This new edition integrates real life examples shared by readers of the first edition to enrich the narrative. It also updates the interactive survey from the first edition and includes revisions to consider digital networking and tools, such as Instagram, which didn't exist when the first edition was published, asking questions such as "What is the role, if any, of Emojis? What about the emergence of virtual conferences?" The second edition will also discuss sensitivity to generational differences to accommodate the growth of millennials in the workforce, working with older workers and how to strengthen their relationships.
