Harvey Mackay's "Dig Your Well Before You're T more
Harvey Mackay's "Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty" starts by pointing out that having picked up the book, you've now officially become part of Mackay's network. This boils down one of the key lessons of the book: networks are everywhere, and moreover, networks can be -created- everywhere. Mackay not only shows you how, but also why.
Mackay manages to strike a good balance between teaching about networking in general, and sprinkling a lot of little nifty tips about specific situations. Anectodes and encouraging stories are abundant, but they don't steal the attention.
The book also keeps the high ground on values, emphasizing again and again that altruism and reciprocality are key elements for an effective network. In the dog-eat-dog times of today's business, it's refreshing to be reminded that it's not always about what other people can do for you, but how you can help others. less
