About This Quote

The most important skill in any company or organization is the ability to connect with other people. A company that has the ability to connect with its customers, employees, vendors, and other stakeholders can create tremendous value for itself and its stakeholders. Many companies today are trying to develop products and services that will connect people together. For example, AT&T uses the power of phone networks to connect people who use different phones. The same idea applies to social networks like Facebook where people share information, photos, videos, and other media on their profiles.
