Toolkit for honing your 'NI-Networking Intelligence'

I hope you all read my earlier post on 'Networking Intelligence'.

This post is an innocent attempt to focus on what's the tool kit required for high 'Networking Intelligence' .

Here it follows:

1. Be open minded.
2. Focus on sustaining relationships rather than building relationships.
3. Be genuinely generous in providing help to others.
4. Seek help from anyone you feel like and be grateful for their kindness.
5. Embrace all forms of technology for networking.
6. Be a keen observer of activities in your domain and beyond ;-)
7. Be a life long learner. It humbles you and helps you to stay connected.
8. Be genuinely interested in PIT-People,Ideas,Technology.
9. A good sense of humour helps.
10. Most importantly ask yourself why you want to network and how it will help you.

Hope this helps ;-)
