The Top Characteristics of a Great Networker (pt 2)

As with leadership, I believe that networking skills are very important. What’s even more important, however, is working to improve them and learning how to use them effectively. That’s what really counts.

Recently, I took the opportunity to gather almost 3,400 survey responses from business people around the world. I gave them a list of almost 20 different characteristics on networking and I asked them to pick the top behaviors they’d like to see. From those responses, I have identified the top characteristics of what people believe makes a great networker and have listed them here. Each one of the characteristics below ties into the notion of “farming” not “hunting.” It’s about building mutually beneficial business relationships. Only then will you succeed in creating a powerful, personal network.
