Stay humble and approachable from "summary" of The Greatest Networker in the World by John Milton Fogg
The essence of true leadership lies in humility and approachability. By remaining grounded and accessible, we open ourselves up to authentic connections and meaningful relationships. When we approach others with humility, we acknowledge that we are all on equal footing in this vast network of human interaction. This attitude of humility allows us to connect on a deeper level, fostering trust and mutual respect. Approachability is another key component of effective networking. When we are approachable, we create an inviting atmosphere that encourages others to engage with us. An approachable demeanor makes others feel comfortable and valued, paving the way for open and honest communication. This openness and warmth are essential in building strong relationships that stand the test of time. By staying humble and approachable, we demonstrate our willingness to listen and learn from those around us. We show that we are not above anyone else, but rather we are all interconnected and have much to gain from each other. This mindset of humility and approachability is a powerful tool in creating a network of support and collaboration. In the world of networking, it is easy to get caught up in self-promotion and ego. However, true success comes from building genuine connections based on humility and approachability. When we approach others with an open heart and a listening ear, we create a space for meaningful interactions to take place. This approach not only benefits us personally but also contributes to the growth and success of our network as a whole.
