Abstract
This case study considers a senior vice president in a financial institution who fears that his job may fall victim to changing business trends. Although he realizes that networking could help, he resists it. One expert says that a study shows that 88% of us identify ourselves as shy. So, how does one push through it? The experts advise paying attention to the three overlapping networks of contacts--the task network on the job, the career network in professional organizations, and the social network of friends and acquaintances. And remember, the true form of networking is not about getting a job, but about making--and maintaining--good human relationships that are held together by mutual interests.
