Collaborative Competition(TM): A Woman's Guide to Succeeding by Competing
Collaborative Competition(TM): A Woman's Guide to Succeeding by Competingby Kathryn Mayer
I recommend this book (not only because I wrote it!) but I believe that mastering competition is the key to success. I have developed a proprietary leadership model, Collaborative CompetitionTM, which harnesses the positive side of competition to promote strategic win-win collaboration. The book provides examples which I have gathered from extensive interviews and experience with women leaders from highly competitive fields. The book shows you how and why to avoid falling into the trap of seeing competition as cutthroat and threatening, and to focus instead on exploring possible synergies and partnerships. While this book is targeted to women, it is also valuable for men as it explores skills that are critical to all successful professionals.
