Collaborating with the Enemy: How to Work with People You Don't Agree with or Like or Trust (16pt Large Print Edition)

Collaboration is increasingly difficult and increasingly necessary Often to get something done that really matters to us we need to work with people we dont agree with or like or trust. Adam Kahane has faced this challenge many times working on big issues like democracy and jobs and climate change and on everyday issues in organizations and families. He has learned that our conventional understanding of collaboration-that it requires a harmonious team that agrees on where its going how its going to get there and who needs to do what-is wrong. Instead we need a new approach to collaboration that embraces discord experimentation and genuine cocreation-which is exactly what Kahane provides in this groundbreaking and timely book.
