Im sure there are very precise definitions of these terms somewhere, but -- as a working proxy -- Id describe a "knowledge worker" as someone who primarily thinks, interacts, communicates, creates and organizes for a living -- and a "transactional worker" as one who primarily deals with predictable and routine workflows and processes. -

It’s about building relationships, spending time on the networks, and having regular conversations with the people you want to connect with who you will value for more than just helping move the needle and getting to the bottom line. It’s not always about numbers and it’s not about sporadic participation.
