'The Success Factor'

This week's podcast sees the return of Dr Ruth Gotian to discuss her new book, 'The Success Factor' with Andy Lopata. Original, with new perspectives on established themes and with new ideas on what goes into becoming a high achiever. The book contain a series of interviews with the most successful high flyers. Interviewees include a Nobel Prize winner, Olympians and an Astronaut.  All relied on professional relationships and teams and many of those relationships were retained and became friendships. Andy and Ruth discuss the importance of mentors and mentoring and the effective use of LInkedIn and other social media to engage and increase your network. They conclude by looking at the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, the latter becoming 'the fire in your belly'.
