“Get Big Things Done”

As the pursuit of success becomes a more competitive one, Erica Dhawan and Saj-nicole Joni, Ph.D., believe that business gains are largely driven by “connectional intelligence.”

That kind of intelligence is defined as “the ability to combine the world’s diversity of people, networks, disciplines and resources, forging connections that create value, meaning and breakthrough results,” as the authors write in their new book “Get Big Things Done: The Power of Connectional Intelligence.”

Dhawan and Joni compare the rise of the concept of connectional intelligence to that of emotional intelligence and assert that anyone who leverages connectional intelligence can accelerate her progress.

With an unprecedented number of ways for people of all backgrounds to connect, particularly through email and social media, the authors aim to show readers how to connect intelligently and efficiently. Among the core questions they address: “How do we get behind this newfound connectivity and use it to get to the places where we want to go?”
