Intelligence officers Elena Vavilova and Andrey Bezrukov became known worldwide when they were arrested in the United States in 2010. Later, they were able to return to Russia. In this book, the authors share their unique personal experience of working with people, accumulated over 25 years of undercover service.
The book will help you become a designer of your own human environment and successfully use connections to achieve goals in life and business.
Without aiming to turn the reader into a spy (although it may inspire someone!), the authors will teach you how to understand people and build long-term productive relationships.
They will tell you how to manage your own human 'ecosystem', including:
- how to quickly assess a person in order to build the right relationship with them,
- how to strategically build a network of contacts,
- how to effectively establish and develop connections,
- how to systematically raise your status in society,
- how to quickly strengthen your position in a new organization,
- how to create a circle of reliable friends and, perhaps, find a companion.
Quotes from the book:
'Spies are focused on working with smart people, and a smart person can recognize insincere flattery, even if they secretly like it.'
'It is quite predictable that the first thought in the mind of the person you are getting to know will be: 'Who is he?' They will immediately start a mental process of verification, similar to the Dangerous-Interesting-Complex test that we described earlier. Your task is to successfully pass such a test.'
'We hope that your plans related to a particular organization are not limited to immediate problems. It makes no sense to spend months, let alone years, of your precious time developing relationships if you have no long-term plans to influence future corporate decisions.'
