REVIEWS
It is with great honor that I write these words. My dear friend Simone was one of the pioneers in the scientific approach to the now extremely popular discipline of networking, and she was trailblazing techniques for practical applications of networking before almost anyone else. With this book (her fourth, the first three being bestsellers) she takes your networking skills one big step further. Welcome to Networking 2.0!
Mogens Nørgaard, serial IT entrepreneur/CEO, International lecturer
Simone’s great passion is networking. She is constantly on the look out for new trends that can be utilised in her own work and shared with her network. Everyone has a network but few people bring it into play like Simone. Her thoughts and tips about networking have developed and benefited our business.
Michael Krogh, CEO KplusK
As a speaker Simone is a fantastic communicator. Through her keenness and analytical talent, she quickly establishes customer needs and transforms them into concrete knowledge that is brilliantly communicated to her audience. Her passion for networking is obvious and leaves her audience in a state of euphoria.

Dedication
In 2012, the Chinese company Huawei Technologies overtook Ericsson to become the world’s largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer, firmly establishing itself on the world business map. Today, it has over 170,000 employees worldwide and in 2014 the company generated a remarkable profit of $5.5 billion.
Whilst research and development and the technology that results from it are core drivers of Huawei’s success, the company’s amazing growth is also determined by its human resource strategy. This is based on a “customer-first” attitude, the belief that obtaining opportunities is through hard work and, above all, “a dedication to do the best in anything we do”. How Huawei promotes this dedication amongst its workforce is the subject of this important book. Through original incentive systems, employee ownership and the mentality to act like a boss, Huawei has managed to create a culture of dedication that has become the bedrock of its growth today.

Iconic
This book is about icons – exceptional organizations (orchestras, restaurants, sports teams or companies) with an aspiration to make or do something special, and to go on doing so, year in, year out for decades. This is what gives these organizations their undeniably iconic status.
By selecting 14 iconic organizations (including ElBulli, McKinsey, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Procter & Gamble, the All Blacks) and researching what characteristics make them different from others, the authors discovered a “competency spiral” which these organizations exhibit in their success. Attracting and retaining the right people; forging individuals into a team; and achieving outstanding results, time after time, through continuous improvement and adjustment – these are the key competencies required to achieve iconic status.
