No One Wins Alone

Success does not often come from going it alone. Rather, the key to success lies in making the right connections with the right people. To make progress in solving challenges, we generally need (at least) one other person: a contact, a knowledge holder or a mediator. But where to find this person? This book reveals how private individuals, employees, managers and business leaders can use Structured Networking to tackle specific problems and overcome challenges that cannot be solved alone. Carsten Sudhoff is the founder of CircularSociety AG, a consultancy dedicated to in-depth cooperation within and between organizations. Networking has long been a topic close to his heart, and his structured approach and understanding of economic ecosystems have led him to the top levels of large companies. In this book, he presents the essence of over 10,000 consultations with the aim of developing and utilizing business contacts in a structured, strategic manner. He provides practical guidance on how targeted contacts can pave the way to a new job, an untapped market or a reliable cooperation partner. At the same time, he illustrates how win-win situations can be created in this way and how cooperation serves the common good. "No one wins alone" can also be ordered as an German-language edition. "A practical guide to building bridges in an interconnected world. Structured Networking is an idea whose time has come." Børge Brende (President & CEO, World Economic Forum) "An inspiring and powerful method to connect people for greater social impact. No one wins alone – Carsten proves it with clarity and heart." Carlos Sanvee (Secretary General, World Alliance of YMCAs)
