Networking Must Have

This book shatters stereotypes about people who dislike networking. They're not shy or misanthropic. Rather, they tend to be reflective - they think before they talk.

They focus intensely on a few things rather than broadly on a lot of things. And they need time alone to recharge. Because they've been told networking is all about small talk, big contact lists, and constant contact, they assume it's not for them.
