Author and Entrepreneur
Keith Ferrazzi is an American author and entrepreneur who founded the consulting firm Ferrazzi Greenlight. He is best known for his bestselling book Never Eat Alone, which draws on his networking experiences to teach relationship building strategies.
by Keith Ferrazzi
Ferrazzi argues that success is built on generous relationship-building rather than transactional networking, and lays out his operating system for connecting with people authentically one relationship at a time. He contrasts his approach with the crude glad-handing that most people associate with networking, insisting that the real currency is generosity given long before it is needed.

Cialdini identifies six universal principles of persuasion: reciprocity, commitment, social proof, authority, liking, and scarcity. Understanding these triggers explains why we say yes, and how others get us to comply.
by Stephen Covey
Covey argues lasting effectiveness comes from character, not technique. His framework moves from dependence to independence to interdependence through principle-centred habits.
