Powerhouse Partners by Stephen M Dent and James Krefft

Available from Amazon

For any manager or executive committed to achieving their business goals through successful strategic partnership, Powerhouse Partners culls from the successes of some of the world's leading companies (and the authors' clients) - Bank of America, NASA, USWest - to deliver a best-practices toolkit that includes cultural components to create organizational powerhouses that pave the way for people to be successful and accomplish their missions.

 

Partnering Intelligence laid the groundwork for the individual, followed by The Partnering Intelligence Fieldbook, which focused on how groups of people improve their ability to excel in working together. Now Powerhouse Partners provides the rationale and blueprint for why leaders must start to build a culture that can give their organizations a competitive advantage by using their partnering intelligence.

Partnering Intelligence 2nd Edition by Stephen M Dent

Available from Amazon

Since the publication of the breakthrough first edition of Partnering Intelligence, thousands of organizations have increased their "partnering intelligence" (PQ). This updated edition adds examples for making benchmark comparisons and an award-winning case study of Bank of America and Exult, Inc., to show the process in action. Other new features in this second edition include the Win-Win Orientation Assessment, statistical information on the PQ Assessment, updated case studies, PQ profiles of teams and organizations, and Foreword.

 

This updated roadmap is for anyone who uses strategic partnerships to achieve business goals and who wants to develop the internal and external partnering capabilities of executive teams, managers, and employees. The Partnering Quotient Assessment, Six Partnering Attributes, and Partnering Continuum model form an integrated system to build partnering capabilities. It's leading the shift from "me" to "we," from looking out for number one, to working for mutual benefit and results for both self and partner.
