⟩ How do potential employees know how to make friends?
Technical skills can only take you so far in the business world. At a certain point, it is the know-who rather than the know-how that sets high potentials apart. They are capable and confident when it comes to developing and maintaining relationships. They know how to network and understand that networks must be nurtured rather than used. They seek out mentors and advocates who can provide valuable support and speak positively on their behalf. They are aware of others, of their impact on others and take a genuine interest in getting to know people personally.
