“Rooted in the latest neuroscience on the nature of collaboration,
Collaborative Intelligence celebrates the power of working and
thinking together at the highest levels of business and politics,
and in the smallest aspects of our everyday lives. Dawna Markova
and Angie McArthur show us that our ability to collaborate is not
only a measure of intelligence, but essential to solving the
world’s problems and seeing the possibilities in ourselves and
others.”—Arianna Huffington
“This inspiring book teaches you how to align your intention with
the intention of others, and how, through shared strengths and
talents, you have every right to expect greatness and set the
highest goals and expectations.”—Deepak Chopra
“Everyone talks about collaboration today, but the rhetoric
typically outweighs the reality. Collaborative
Intelligence offers tangible tools for those serious about
becoming ‘system leaders’ who can close the gap and make
collaboration real.”—Peter M. Senge, author of The Fifth
Discipline
“I have worked with Markova and McArthur for several years,
focusing on achieving better results through intellectual
diversity. Their approach has encouraged more candid debate and
collaborative behavior within the team. The team, not individuals,
becomes the hero.”—Al Carey, CEO, PepsiCo
“Building collaborative intelligence by putting the concepts in
this book into action with my executive team was one of the most
critical variables to our success.”—Jeff Dunn, CEO, Bolthouse
Farms
“It’s time to call an end to striving to be ‘the smartest guy in
the room’ and instead invite everyone’s unique intelligence to the
table. Collaborative Intelligence teaches you how to
recognize the unique ways that you think and how others think, with
the goal of reducing conflict and increasing productivity,
creativity, innovation, and maybe even joy! This is a breakthrough
book.”—Jacki Zehner, chief engagement officer, Women Moving
Millions
“To paraphrase Einstein, the significant problems we face cannot be
solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created
them. This terrific book helps us attain a new level of thinking by
teaching us how to think better together. It helps us learn how our
differences in individual thinking—our intellectual diversity—can
be turned into our collective strengths by fostering real
collaboration in thinking. Simultaneously filled with insight and
application, Collaborative Intelligence is engaging,
relevant, and valuable. In an increasingly collaborative world,
this is a remarkable book for our time!”—Stephen M. R. Covey,
author of The Speed of Trust
“The methods in this eye-opening book have taught me how to locate
my strengths and access the traits where my potential remains
dormant. As a result, I have learned to harness my potency and to
become more productive and effective—and I’m able to inspire others
in a way I could only imagine of a few short years ago.”—Suzy Amis
Cameron, co-founder, Muse Schools
“This book is filled with essential questions, commonsense answers,
and stories that illustrates how to magnify one’s intelligence by
drawing on the intelligence of others. It’s a manual for clarifying
objectives, then realizing them.”—Dee Hock, founder and CEO
emeritus, VISA International
