Synopsis

Better TogetherFDR and Eleanor. Mick and Keith. Jobs and Woz. There are countless examples of introvert-extrovert partnerships who make brilliant products, create great works of art, and even change history together. But these partnerships don't just happen. They demand wise nurturing. The key, says bestselling author Jennifer Kahnweiler, is for opposites to stop emphasizing their differences and use approaches that focus them both on moving toward results. Kahnweiler's first-of-its-kind practical five-step process helps introverts and extroverts understand and appreciate each other's wiring, use conflicts to spur creativity, enrich their own skills by learning from the other, and see and act on things neither would have separately. Kahnweiler shows how to perform the delicate balancing act required to create a whole that is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts.

The Genius of Opposites pretends to be a book about introverts and extroverts learning to appreciate and value the unique skills of the other so they can work together more productively.

Having experienced the misunderstandings that can arise between introverts and extroverts in the work place - I understand the premise for writing the book, and the intended outcome. What turned me off from finishing the book, was the language used to describe the process the author recommends. "Acce......more
