Betsy Polk and Maggie Chotas have learned something powerful: when women work together they discover a level of support, flexibility, confidence, accountability, and freedom to be themselves that they rarely find in other work relationships. Drawing on their own twelve-year partnership and from interviews with 125 women business partners, Polk and Chotas demolish the myths that keep women from collaborating and offer advice for handling a host of potential challenges. This groundbreaking book shows that when women team up--combining complementary skills, channeling their egos into the partnership, and encouraging each other--they can work as full equals to achieve something that's exponentially greater than each woman alone.Brief description: Maggie Ellis Chotas is a cofounder of the Mulberry Partners, a consulting firm that helps organizations, teams, and individuals develop strategies to strengthen collaboration, improve communication, resolve conflicts, and cultivate great ideas.
