G3

Tim Cork

Description

Give, Give, and Give again -- that is Tim Cork's formula for personal and professional success. The first gift is to you -- when you get really good at you, everyone around you benefits. The second is leadership -- the gift of raising other people's game. And the third is netgiving -- connecting with others to help them succeed. As the author puts it, "Netgiving takes the work out of networking." Full of quick-hit pearls of wisdom, G3 is as practical as it is entertaining and inspirational.
