How to become a great leader through strong relationships, drawing from the wisdom of legendary partnerships including Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, Ben and Jerry, and Desmond and Leah TutuThe hidden superpower of great leaders? Deep connections. Our individualistic society has created a cult of self-sufficiency. The result- fear, division, and domination, which has crushed our ability to relate meaningfully to each other in the workplace and diminished our ability to innovate and collaborate. Jean Oelwang, president of Virgin Unite, has interviewed over 60 business and life partnerships - including Desmond and Leah Tutu, and Ben and Jerry - revealing how to nurture relationships with depth and purpose. These kinds of deep connections have a profound ripple effect on everything we do, supporting us to achieve more, withstand anything and amplify impact. Enduring partnerships are the foundation of a meaningful life as well as the backbone of any successful organisation. In this book she unpicks the values that connect great partners, the daily rituals that they use to stay in sync, and the habits that allow them to disagree respectfully and productively. Packed with wisdom to nourish the relationships that give us strength and meaning, Partnering is a call-to-action for individuals resisting individualism to lead with purpose and impact.
Partnering captures the magic of our partnership, and many others. One plus one = more done and more fun. * RICHARD BRANSON, founder of Virgin Group, and PETER GABRIEL, musician; cocreators of The Elders * Our partnership of over sixty-six years has made us who we are in this world and helped us to weather the atrocities of apartheid. Because of each other, our lives have been filled with love, joy and meaning. In Partnering, Jean brings to life the true spirit of Ubuntu. * ARCHBISHOP DESMOND and LEAH TUTU * Great relationships are the wellspring of happiness at home, success at work, and wisdom in life. Jean Oelwang is remarkably gifted at building them - she' s worked closely with many of the most dynamic duos of our time. Her book is filled with uplifting stories and practical takeaways for building stronger partnerships. * ADAM GRANT, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife * Our seventy-five-year marriage has been the most important thing in our lives. Partnering highlights the secrets of enduring partnerships like ours. * JIMMY and ROSALYNN CARTER, thirty-ninth president and first lady of the United States of America and cofounders of The Carter Center * The relationships in our lives are one of the key ingredients to thriving in this world. Partnering reveals how we can nurture these essential connections. An important book for a disconnected world. * ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, founder and CEO of Thrive Global *
