DESCRIPTION:
Kahane proposes a new approach to collaboration - stretch collaboration - that is built on this insight. It could not be more timely.. This means that increasingly often we face situations where conventional collaboration does not work. This approach requires stepping forward with openness and commitment, as in the words of poet Antonio Machado, "Walker, there is no path. We're trying to get something done that really matters to us. He has come to understand that everything we think we know about collaboration - that it requires a harmonious team that agrees on where it's going and how it's going to get there - is wrong. On the contrary, the only way to get things done with diverse others is to abandon harmony, agreement, and control
Perfect Father's Day Gift J. Masters For the all the wisdom Kahane imparts in this small volume, the greatest gift is his own story, his collaboration with his own inner enemies of patriarchy, arrogance, certainty, and privilege. He tells of the pain and humiliation that opened the way to new possibilities. As we sit in this time with many clamoring for isolation and increasing armament, he speaks of those around the world who are now on the far side of decades long conflicts and their ability to finally come together. If we learn and use the lessons from this book we will find ourselves able to come together without the need to slaughter each others' children first.. ""Love one another as I have loved you” and the toughest one of them all" according to Vasken Kalayjian. The essential teachings of Jesus for me is The Sermon on the Mount: "Love your neighbor as yourself", “Love Your Enemy as yourself”, "Love one another as I have loved you” and the toughest one of them all: "Love yourself as I (Jesus) have loved you". Very simple but so difficult to practice.Adam Kahane’s book “Collaborating with the Enemy” brings this much closer and makes it more possible to work with these concepts in our organizations and everyday life. Collaborating with the Enemy and people I don’t trust shocks us out of selfishness, worldliness, self-absorbed, self-identified, self-r. Mandatory reading for those of us yearning to make a dent in the universe in our life time This is a breakthrough book. And in this era of unprecedented polarization and volatility it should be required reading for all.

Adam Kahane takes us from grand theories to practical steps we all can apply in our personal and professional endeavors. Most books make promises. This book delivers!
