"The idea that there are "well-rounded" people, people who have only strengths and no weaknesses ... is a prescription for mediocrity if not incompetence. Strong people always have strong weaknesses. ... And no one is strong in many areas."

Peter F. Drucker Quote:
"People-decisions are time-consuming, for the simple reason that the Good Lord did not create people as "resources" for organizations. They do not come in proper size and shape for the tasks that have to be done in organization - and they cannot be machined down or re-cast for these tasks. People are always "almost fits" at best. To get the work done with people (...) therefore requires lots of time, thought and judgement."

I am not strong with Woo myself, but maybe for this reason, I found Keith Ferrazzi's book "Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time" very helpful. I imagine that it would be especially so for someone who would like to develop his woo talent into a networking strength.
