This book illustrates how great partnerships can achieve much more than either person ever could alone, and shows you exactly how to create these strong partnerships. The lessons are immediately applicable to business (and not just with co-workers, even with your boss or those you supervise!), but they can be applied to any aspect of life. Great partnerships will leave you much more fulfilled in everything you do.The book covers eight important facets that a partnership must have to be successful:1. Complementary strengths2. A common mission3. Fairness4. Trust5. Acceptance6. Forgiveness7. Communicating8. UnselfishnessI highly recommend this book, no matter what industry you work in. You'll be amazed by some of the stories the authors share about some of history's best partnerships, and you'll want to apply these principles to your own life as soon as you read them! Now that I recognize "The Power of 2" and how much more I can accomplish when I'm not working by myself (believe me, a hard lesson), I'm constantly seeking out partnerships in my day-to-day life. I've been developing a new partnership within my business, and bought this book for my new business partner so we can base the work we do on these principles. Even if you've already had good experiences with partnerships, this book can teach you how to take things to the next level and become even more effective. It's a very quick read, but you'll undoubtedly find yourself coming back to this book in the future as you develop partnerships in all areas of your life.
