I’m reading this book right now, and loving it–pun fully intended.
It’s timing at this moment of my life seems providential. It has helped me re-evaluate, refocus, re-energize my purpose and my plan here, working as a recruiter to help talented people find the right problems to solve.
Sanders clearly reveals that compassion in work situations–bizlove, he calls it–is absolutely essential to success in the new new economy:
<ul>How we are perceived as human beings is becoming increasingly important in the new economy. There was a time when people could sit back and play head-games behind closed doors… The new economy doesn’t allow for this.</ul>
And
<ul>No matter how technical our work situatins may be, because we’re all human, the network is at its best when compassion underlies our motivation.</ul>]]>
