SmartCEO’s August CEO Reading List features Business Relationships That Last

I met Ed Wallace, founder of The Relational Capital Group, in a networking manner five years ago and read his first book. His most recent book really helped me take the knowledge of hierarchical relationships (we all have friends but few trusted advisors), and that is true even in the business world. Since I handle finance, HR, and key partnerships for my firm, building relationships is critical, and I always look for tips, techniques, and tools to help me manage relationships. It’s an easy read, perfect for the beach and something that can be applied in and out of the office.
