Summary:
In It’s NOT ONLY Who You Know, Tommy Spaulding-the former CEO of Up With People-has written the new How to Gain Friends and Impact People for the twenty-fist hundred years. Success-in business and in life-is all about relationships. Within this effective guide to calling others, Spaulding takes Dale Carnegie’s classic philosophy to the next level-how to make lasting relationships that go well beyond mere superficial contacts and “second ground” relationships.
Tommy Spaulding on the subject of It’s Not Just Who You Know: Transform YOUR DAILY LIFE (and Your Corporation) by Turning Colleagues and Contacts into Enduring, Genuine Relationships learned at an extremely early age that he was not destined to become an educational star. He might have received a 4.0, but only when he added his high school and university GPAs together. The reason why he discovered academics so challenging, he discovered afterwards, is usually that Tommy is definitely dyslexic. But his dyslexia didn’t hold him back-in fact, it helped him to build up the talents he did have. For Tommy is a natural leader; he realized early on that he had a unique ability to connect with others, whatever their age or background. As a teenager, he was presented with a copy of How to Get Friends and Influence People by his father, and it quickly became his bible. He became a nationwide finalist for the DECA Entrepreneurial Business competition in senior high school, and went successfully for older class leader. He continued to be the CEO of Up With People, one of the largest nonprofit international leadership organizations in the globe.
At every stage, Tommy found that the secret to getting ahead was reaching out for the support and insight and influence of others. None of us accomplish great success alone. We need the help of other people.
With this candid, revealing book, Tommy expands upon the concepts that Dale Carnegie outlined 75 years ago, and displays us how to take them one step further to perform the impossible inside our lives and jobs. To request others to become genuine partners in our lives and success, Tommy explains, you have to first be interested in other folks. It’s not just who you know, or what they are able to do for you personally, but you skill on their behalf. Motives matter. Creating a deeper connection is approximately authenticity, not really manipulation. Reciprocity, not really selfishness. Every romantic relationship is certainly a two-way street; we never know when a possibility encounter can change the path of our lifestyle.
In the bestselling tradition of Dale Carnegie’s classic, It’s Not Just Who YOU UNDERSTAND shows how each and every one of us may use the energy of netgiving-of helping others-to broaden our world and achieve our goals, and change lives in our job, our career, and our community.
