In conversation with Michelle Tillis Lederman

If you want to be a leader of the future, you must know how to build alliances and partnerships. The Connector’s Advantage will help you do just that.

Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Triggers and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

About the book

Connectors Advantage

With a record-breaking number of people either out of work or transitioning to remote work, connections are more important than ever. Expanding your connections and being an inclusive Connector is critical to attaining faster, easier, and better results, especially when job hunting, re-entering the workforce, or reimagining your current role in the wake of the pandemic.

And even if you are already a Connector, this book will help you take it up a level.

Connectors think and act a certain way that makes things happen faster, easier, and often with a better result.

This book will explain:
1. Why relationships and connecting are critical to your results, success, and even happiness.
2. How Connectors have a way of thinking and acting that enables stronger relationships.
3. How ANYONE can infuse these mindsets and behaviours into their interactions and see the impact.
