Networking has become a numbers game, a transactional collating of business cards (or social media connections), of names and likes. Of course we need to build lists for sales but when do connections become something more than the transactional swapping of business cards, contra liking or database building?

What kind of leader are you? Are you bold? Do you break the rules and make your own? Or are you comfortable, content with the status quo?
