The amazing success story of the man behind Ströer, t-online.de, Statista... With his perseverance and penchant for risk-taking, Udo Müller has put everything on one horse on more than one occasion. He started off in the world of out-of-home advertising and became the market leader, fi rst in East Germany and then in unified Germany. Then he went global. And shortly afterwards, he went public on the stock market in spectacular fashion. This was followed by the expansion of his product line to include digital publishing, online marketing and direct marketing. During the period of transition from the "old economy" to the "new economy" Ströer has developed into a unique and diverse media empire.

In 2000, Marc Wallert and 20 other hostages were taken by terrorists to a Philippine island and imprisoned in the jungle for 140 days. 20 years later, he describes the strategies he used to survive and what he learned from the experience. The jungle didn't break him, but the day-to-day life that followed drove him to burnout. In order to better understand why, he set out to find answers by focusing on the defining moments of his life - the crises. In this book, he explains effective strategies for both private and professional life that can help people get through crises and become even stronger as they do so.

What is diplomacy? An art, a craft? Or something in between? Is there such a thing as a diplomatic secret recipe? What actually makes a good diplomat? What tips and tricks help to break the deadlock? When does humor help, when only bluffing? How do diplomatic cultures and styles differ in different countries? How undiplomatic can, and perhaps even must, a diplomat sometimes be? How does the work of today's diplomats differ from that of their predecessors? And why do we need diplomats today, when half the world is just a click away from the next video conference? In this book, renowned companions of Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger - including several current and former heads of state and government - reflect on basic questions of diplomacy. Taking the reader behind the scenes of diplomacy, they reveal their most astonishing experiences, successes, and failures on the diplomatic stage, or outline their ideas for the diplomatic handling of unresolved challenges. A book for anyone who wants to better understand what matters when negotiating war and peace.
