\"TheThe Power of 2: Win Big with People in Your Work and in Life<\/a>\"\"
\nby Anthony C. Scire<\/p>\n

Here is another in a growing number of “mini-books,” 170 pages in this case, which seem to be taking over book store shelves from coast to coast. What\u2019s interesting about this trend lies in the fact that some of the shorter books pack more power in the way of useful information than many of the 500-page monsters we so often see. This is obviously the case in Anthony C. Scire’s The Power of 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The subject matter of this particular book falls into another category for me. The content revolves around networking and human relationships which is critical in assisting anyone in their effort to excel in all areas of work and life. Therefore, wouldn\u2019t it make sense to expose our younger generations to such valuable resources at a very early age? I\u2019d like to see the concepts in this book shared with students as young as middle-school age. I\u2019m certain it would impact their high school, college and early work life in a very positive way. Networking is one of the many areas we share with our audiences ranging in ages from 12 to 25, and this book, written in the tradition of Dale Carnegie\u2019s classic, How to Win Friends and Influence People<\/em>, cuts to the core of what it takes to win BIG with people. It is an easy-to-read, powerful approach to starting and building relationships and solving people problems.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t misunderstand me. This is far from a children\u2019s book. I\u2019m simply convinced it contains a very important message for all ages. I\u2019ve worked with a large number of front-line employees, middle-managers, CEOs, and board members who would benefit greatly from the proven methods and skills shared within these pages. The Golden Rule of networking is simply this: All things being equal, people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like, and trust. That’s it. That\u2019s what it’s all about and Anthony C. Scire presents timeless principles for building productive, enduring relationships\u2014key ingredients to success and happiness. Tony shares pertinent anecdotes and penetrating insights from his wealth of experiences. He teaches you how to meet more people, build finer relationships, and better nurture the ones you already have. The Power of 2<\/em> gives you the edge in getting results by sharing these wonderful gifts:<\/p>\n
