About the Guide

As the economy becomes more dynamic and volatile, networks become important because people help people to overcome their limitations. People globally are rapidly transitioning to relationships based on interest rather than geography. Using networks like LinkedIn, people can find each other, share knowledge and mobilize for action extremely quickly. Learning how to grasp and use this new ability effectively is critical to all executives. It is what the Executive's Guide is all about.
