Transcend Networking Brad Englert has written Spheres of Influence: How to Create and Nurture Authentic Business Relationships to help emerging leaders develop and perfect what he calls the “critical hard skill” of building effective and enduring business relationships. There are two major parts to the book. The first part of the book focuses on the “internal sphere of influence,” those people with whom readers can have the most direct impact: relationship with the boss, relationships with executive leaders, relationships with direct reports, and relationships with all staff. In the second part, Englert focuses on the “external sphere of influence,” and explores relationships where readers have less direct impact. These include relationships with customers, relationships with peers and influencers, and finally, relationships with strategic vendor partners. The real-world stories in this book are relevant to a diverse range of industries, organizations, and backgrounds. In these pages, emerging and aspiring leaders will learn how to build authentic, mutually beneficial, trusting, and enduring relationships spanning years and even decades.
