One of the problems is that John was in fact needing something, but was not willing to offer anything in return. In one of my recent posts entitled "Effective networkers are givers," I called this "crisis networking." This type of networking is counterproductive. Interesting post.

In the process it is possible that Jack's deposits in Emotional Bank Accounts (as Dr.Stephen Covey terms it) or Personal Integrity accounts may diminish when such bad mouthing happens (at least until the truth is known). That's one of the problems in the society today. People support as long as one is nice and helpful. However, I still believe that as far as the personal integrity accounts are strong and live by the priciples no badmouthing can hurt any way.There is still a fine line.

Not only has he lost mindshare with Jack, but will continue losing it with other friends in the circle. Good point.
