Description
Collaboration is more and more difficult and more and more necessary
Often, to get something done that in point of fact matters to us, we want to work with people we don’t accept as true with or like or believe. Adam Kahane has faced this challenge again and again, working on big issues like democracy and jobs and climate change and on on a regular basis issues in organizations and families. He has learned that our conventional understanding of collaboration—that it requires a harmonious team that has the same opinion on where it’s going, how it’s going to get there, and who needs to do what—is improper. As a substitute, 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.
