Book Overview

"Offers practical guidance for how to work with diverse others, which is a precondition for confronting many of the complex challenges we face." --Morris Rosenberg, President, Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation

Collaboration is increasingly difficult and increasingly necessary.

Often, to get something done that really matters to us, we need to work with people we don't 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 it's going, how it's 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.

"Kahane shows that people who don't see eye-to-eye really can come together to solve big challenges. Whether in our businesses, our governments, our communities, or our personal lives, we can all benefit from this smart and timely book." --Mark Tercek, former President, The Nature Conservancy and coauthor of Nature's Fortune

"Shows us how thinking and seeing differently can help us navigate this challenging landscape. Kahane abandons orthodoxy in taking on the most intransigent problems, showing us the path to effective action in a complex world." --James Gimian, coauthor of The Rules of Victory

"Collaborating with the Enemy belongs on the same shelf as Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Machiavelli's The Prince." --Stephen Huddart, President, The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation

It's nothing you don't already know

There is no secret. You either deal with them. Leave them or place. Or confront them which is never helpful to me. The best advice I've gotten is when someone says something snotty ask them nicely and inquisitively what do you mean? Then they are forced to rework what they said nicer. Or just ignore them. It's their misery they try to take out on you.
