Pretty average. The basic ideas could have been summed up to 50 pages or so. The book is short but could just as well have been shorter, it falls to the same trap as so many American consultant books: Simple but good ideas get extended to try and fill enough pages for a book.

Summary: Work with your opposite* and understand where they are coming from. You may have different viewpoints, but accept them. Know your own strengths and weaknesses, and know your partner’s. Above all, be patient!!!
*meaning introvert or extrovert*
This book is very practical and gives tangible advice in the form of an easy to remember diagram (ABCDE). It can be read in a day, in fact, I read it in one sitting! The strategies given can be used if you have to do any sort of project with an opposite, or a person who is an extrovert if you are an introvert (and vice versa). My suggestion is to take time to answer all of the “questions to consider” at the end of each chapter because they will really benefit you. Enjoy this book, it is one of my favorites!

A disappointing book . A lot of feel good mumbo jumbo with no real substance.
I found it ironic that this book was trying to tell us how different people can strive to work together, and yet the book keeps reinforcing the us and them.
Two conflicting messages divide and work together.
If the author cannot agree on a course why write a self-help business book?
I was also amused by the subtle advertisement for other business books.
