David is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and his work has been featured in Fast Company, the Financial Times, Inc magazine, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and CBS This Morning.

Show Highlights:

The better strategy is to figure out where am I in this, who am I already connected to, who do I need to be connected to, how can I chart a path from from me to them? @davidburkus

You’re already one or two degrees of separation out from everyone that you need to meet and get to know. It’s just a matter of knowing what is my path to them and who could introduce me to them? @davidburkus

Nuture the connections that you already have. @davidburkus

Ask this question: who do you know in blank with blank, being whatever industry sector segment that you want to get to know more of? @davidburkus

You will build a better and deeper relationship with someone faster if you’re building multiplex ties. @davidburkus

Humans are multifaceted creatures. @davidburkus

The way that you build a deeper and stronger relationship with them, is to be multi fascinated by the different elements of them. @davidburkus

Be genuinely interested in all of the facets of someone and it will not only pay off,  because you get to know them better and as a better human being, they would probably pay off in the long run, even in your career as well. @davidburkus

What is the community that doesn’t exist that needs to exist, that would help your career, help your clients, help people that are doing something similar to you? @davidburkus

If you focus on just adding the value to other people, you win as a byproduct. @davidburkus

You don’t necessarily have to be that number one person. @davidburkus

We all have that potential. We just need to pay a little bit more attention to the network that’s around us and then respond accordingly. @davidburkus
