Collaborative Competitiveness

Most people self-identify as collaborative - we encouragepartnerships and working in teams - and often feel uncomfortable describing themselvesas competitive - even though most of us want to be the best. But need we be oneor the other?  What if we could master collaboration, harness our competitivenessand bring the two together to achieve more for ourselves and for those aroundus? Natalie Reynolds argues that we can succeed individually and bring others up with us, creatingbetter relationships, better work environments, better deals, and even a betterworld. Collaborative competitiveness is about reclaiming competitiveness forpersonal, economic and social good, while ensuring that others have the chanceto achieve their ambitions too. With practical guides, self-reflective quizzes, and based oninterviews with business leaders and experts on collaboration and wellbeing, Reynoldsapplies this radical new approach to business, global politics, community groups,as well as how we live our personal lives.
