Partnering with the Frenemy

Partnering with the Frenemy is a book for anyone who ever wondered how 1+1 could equal 3.  This is the concept of synergy, or earning more returns together than you could have earned alone.  Partnering relationships hold the promise of all things good, but the reality is that more partnering efforts fail than succeed.  This book explains what drives the dark side of partnering relationships, why partners who start out as friends inevitably wind up as enemies and most importantly, what you can do about it.
