Creating High-Value Strategic Relationships Instead of Energy Drains.
Problem description: Many entrepreneurs invest time and effort in relationships (partners, vendors, teams) that don’t reciprocate value — this drains their resource pool.
How international experts solve it: They apply portfolio-thinking to relationships: classifying partners by value contribution, setting clear criteria, and redirecting efforts to high-yield connections. They disengage from low-value ties.
Value for the audience: Founders and senior managers reclaim their attention for relationships that deliver. They transform their network into a strategic asset rather than a liability.
Recommendations:
– Map your top 50 relationships: ask for each – What value does this bring me? What do I bring it? If value is one-way, consider freezing or ending the engagement.
– Define “value thresholds” for new connections: minimum criteria of reciprocity, budget, strategic alignment.
– Announce a “network detox” month: choose 2-3 relationships to freeze and document time/energy freed.
