An upcoming book to be published by Penguin Random House.

Do you want to get ahead in life?Climb the ladder to personal success?The secret, master networker Keith Ferrazzi claims, is in reaching out to other people. As Ferrazzi discovered early in life, what distinguishes highly successful people from everyone else is the way they use the power of relationships—so that everyone wins.In Never Eat Alone , Ferrazzi lays out the specific steps—and inner mindset—he uses to reach out to connect with the thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates on his Rolodex, people he has helped and who have helped him.The son of a small-town steelworker and a cleaning lady, Ferrazzi first used his remarkable ability to connect with others to pave the way to a scholarship at Yale, a Harvard MBA, and several top executive posts. Not yet out of his thirties, he developed a network of relationships that stretched from Washington’s corridors of power to Hollywood’s A-list, leading to him being named one of Crain’s 40 Under 40 and selected as a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the Davos World Economic Forum.Ferrazzi's form of connecting to the world around him is based on generosity, helping friends connect with other friends. Ferrazzi distinguishes genuine relationship-building from the crude, desperate glad-handling usually associated with “networking.” He then distills his system of reaching out to people into practical, proven principles. Among them:Don’t keep score: It’s never simply about getting what you want. It’s about getting what you want and making sure that the people who are important to you get what they want, too.“Ping” constantly: The Ins and Outs of reaching out to those in your circle of contacts all the time—not just when you need something.Never eat alone: The dynamics of status are the same whether you’re working at a corporation or attending a society event— “invisibility” is a fate worse than failure.In the course of the book, Ferrazzi outlines the timeless strategies shared by the world’s most connected individuals, from Katherine Graham to Bill Clinton, Vernon Jordan to the Dalai Lama.Chock full of specific advice on handling rejection, getting past gatekeepers, becoming a “conference commando,” and more, Never Eat Alone is destined to take its place alongside How to Win Friends and Influence People as an inspirational classic.

Disregard the myth of the lone professional “superman” and the rest of our culture’s go-it alone mentality. The real path to success in your work and in your life is through creating an inner circle of “lifeline relationships” – deep, close relationships with a few key trusted individuals who will offer the encouragement, feedback, and generous mutual support every one of us needs to reach our full potential. Whether your dream is to lead a company, be a top producer in your field, overcome the self-destructive habits that hold you back, lose weight or make a difference in the larger world, Who’s Got Your Back will give you the roadmap you’ve been looking for to achieve the success you deserve.Keith Ferrazzi, the internationally renowned thought leader, consultant, and bestselling author of Never Eat Alone, shows us that becoming a winner in any field of endeavor requires a trusted team of advisors who can offer guidance and help to hold us accountable to achieving our goals. It is the reason PH.D candidates have advisor teams, top executives have boards, world class athletes have fitness coaches, and presidents have cabinets.In this step-by-step guide to the powerful principles behind personal growth and change, you’ll learn how · Master the mindsets that will help you to build deeper, more trusting “ lifeline relationships”· Overcome the career-crippling habits that hold you back, once and for all· Get further, faster by setting goals in a dramatically more powerful way· Use “sparring ” as a productive tool to make the decisions that will fuel personal success· Replace the yes men in your life with those who get it and care – and will hold you accountable to achieving your goals· Lower your guard and let others help!None of us can do it alone.

In this timeless guide on maximizing teams to achieve outstanding business success, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Who’s Got Your Back, and Never Eat Alone distills his years of experience coaching teams at Fortune 500 companies and startup unicorns to optimize team performance.The world’s best teams don’t win because of leadership alone. They win because of teamship. Yet when it comes to success, it is leaders who are lauded; too little attention is given to the transformation of the team itself.We’ve all but ignored how to extract billions of dollars of shareholder value from the interdependency of talent in teams, Keith Ferrazzi argues. Upgrading teams is one of the least curated and under-leveraged opportunities for success. It is time to focus on teamship.But first we must reinvent our understanding of what teamship is and how it functions in a work world that is significantly more volatile, networked, hybrid, diverse, and inclusive than even a decade ago. New thinking about the false and debilitative assumptions that drive teams to underperform is overdue. We need to capture the bold spirit of co-creation and human ingenuity that drives teams like Astro Teller’s Google X to strive for and sustain innovation.In Never Lead Alone, Ferrazzi shares the approach that drives his coaching practice—the playbook he has used to reboot team performance at major brands, including Mastercard, Intel, Starbucks, and General Motors, along with fast-growth unicorns like MongoDB, and Scopley and governments like Bhutan and NGOs like the World Bank.Drawing on more than two decades of deep study with colleagues from the Ferrazzi Greenlight Research Institute, he identifies ten key shifts to unlock the potential of any team, accompanied with 20 High Return Practices that quickly turn each shift into a new team habit. Using the tools that have successfully rebooted team performance at Fortune 500 companies and unicorn brands, Never Lead Alone can help any organization experience innovation and exponential growth.

Im Zeitalter von Social Networks wie Facebook und Co ist der Begriff "Networking" bei Otto Normalverbraucher angekommen. Was früher als "Vitamin B" mit fadem Beigeschmack versehen war, ist heute zum Volkssport geworden. Für alle, die in Networking mehr sehen als das Sammeln von Visitenkarten beim Geschäftsessen oder dem Anklicken vage bekannter Personen in den Social Networks, hat Keith Ferrazzi gute Nachrichten. Er bringt den strapazierten Begriff "Networking" zurück zu seinen Wurzeln und zeigt Ihnen, worauf es beim Aufbau und der Pflege eines echten Netzwerks wirklich auf einen kleinen Kreis von "Rettungsanker-Beziehungen", echten Beziehungen zu einigen wenigen Menschen, dem persönlichen "Dream-Team". Ferrazzi verrät, wie Sie Ihr Dream-Team finden, es pflegen und einsetzen und mit seiner Unterstützung Ihr Leben erfolgreicher und erfüllter gestalten.

Ferrazzi parte de la base de que cualquier persona que ha triunfado en la vida, ya sea en el ámbito personal como en el profesional, ha contado con un grupo que le ha prestado su apoyo y ha creído en ella. Si alguien te conoce y es capaz de ver tu potencial, querrá trabajar contigo. El auténtico camino hacia el éxito pasa por crear un círculo de «relaciones salvavidas»: relaciones profundas e íntimas con unos pocos individuos clave en los que confías y que te ofrecerán el ánimo, el feedback y el apoyo mutuo generoso que todos necesitamos para desarrollar al máximo nuestro potencial.
