In this fascinating episode, I interview Professor Wayne Baker, who is a Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is the author of ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK: HOW TO MASTER THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL FOR SUCCESS( published in 2020), and co-founder and board member of Give and Take, Inc.  

We talk about his new book(he has written 6), the reciprocity ring, SMART criteria for making a request, meditation and 4 simple things you can do to meaningfully connect in a virtual meeting.

Wayne is also a keen sailor and has sailed the Great Lakes and circumnavigated the Eastern US coast(America's great loop).
