Please note above reviewOne of the above "reviews" was accidently listed as a review and has given the book zero stars when in fact it is comments from the author. The book was fantastic.
Getting Partnering RightI am in the process of establishing partnerships with our firm's suppliers and subcontractors so that we may improve the service that we provide to our customers. The first step in the process is to be sure that our suppliers and subcontractors understand the concept of partnering for a win-win agreement. "Getting Partnering Right" is by far the best explanation of what I am trying to accomplish that I have read.After an initial meeting, I ask our potential partner to read the book and to call me when he has read it.Without exception, all have stated that "Now I get it". In a follow-up interview it is very easy to tell if they really do "get it". So far I have purchsed 28 copies for distribution to potential partners and to some our own employees. In addition,some of our partners have purchased more copies for distribution within their own companies. Maybe this one should be rated 6 stars!!

The discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia led to a relationship between the Saudis and Americans that made all the sense in the world and, at the same time, no sense at all. Economically, it was a dynamic and effective model. The Americans were able to purchase more oil as car ownership in the United States escalated throughout the 20th century, meanwhile the Saudis were able to take that money and use it to buy all the latest products and technology from the Americans and transform their country from a pre-industrial kingdom a bustling modern civilization (complete, today, with Starbucks, McDonalds, and shopping malls). Making all this happen, however, meant situating thousands of American civilians in a country in which they simply did not fit. Veteran Middle East scholar and journalist Thomas Lippman's Inside the Mirage examines the 70-year history of the Saudi-American relationship. While he touches on the troubling issues that came to light after the events of 9/11, Lippman's exploration of the quasi-suburban world inhabited by American employees and their families proves most fascinating. Many Americans profiled seem to have been transported out of an old episode of Leave it to Beaver and dropped, in tact, in the middle of a desert nation, dwelling in cordoned off communities and having little contact with the Saudis outside of what was professionally necessary. Cultural and religious differences provide stark contrast between the Americans and the fundamental form of Islam practiced by the Saudi royal family and prevalent throughout the kingdom. These differences combined with the inherent pressures of great wealth and big business to form a relationship that is vitally important to both countries but that was tenuous to begin with and, as Lippman explains has remained so ever since. --John Moe
Average review score:
Put this on your listA well researched and well documented book by a veteran expert. Lippman has been studying and writing about the Middle East for a long time. Inside the Mirage benefits from his extensive travels and interviews. It is an eye opening, people oriented account. Read The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Saudi Arabia to get an overview. Read this one to delve deeper.
IndispensibleLippman presents readers a unique, detailed, highly readable and timely look at Saudi Arabia. This book is a needed starting point or supplement for readers striving the understand the role of traditional society, petroleum, development and politics on the Saudi-US relationship.
This is the new and indispensible tome for the library of any serious scholar of Saudi relations with the United States.

Stands alone as a managment bookI'm amazed that this book hasn't been discovered by more people.
It is clear that the author's view on valuing employees passes the real-world test because, unlike the many management consultants and academicians who have written primarily theoretical works, Melohn actually delivered outstanding business performance through the implementation of his approach.
If you're only going to read one book on this topic, you've just found it.
A refreashing outlook on empowering peopleThe author has a rare view of himself in corporate America. He sees himself as a servant to the people and works on drawing out the best in them. I loved the book because it is proof the managing and directing a force of people through values works! Perhaps the best aspect of the book is that he gives practical steps to incorporate these steps in a organization. However he makes it clear that unless the leaders of a organization embrace these values the efforts of others really wont' matter. He calls leaders to the carpet. You can't expect things (values, work ethic etc) from others until you do it yourself and model it consistently. Personally I have never worked for someone like Tom, however I would love the chance to.

LLC simpleI recently bought this book and found it to be very informative and to the point. I looked at other books, but most were wordy. My time is limited and I needed a book that would provide me the info without the fluff. There is a good state information section that provides info like Addresses, URLs, Legal URLs, Name Requirements, and form descriptions. The actual forms are not provided but the resource is given. I would recommend this book for someone looking for enough information to answer your questions and give you guidance in going forward.
Very informativeThis book breaks what you need to know to form an LLC down nicely and easily by chapter. You can skip around if you'd like, but I wanted to make sure I knew everything about the topic and read it straight through. Full of helpful examples to illustrate the concepts just presented. Definitely recommend to others looking to learn about corporate structures and most specifically, the LLC.

Michael Cunningham believes online alliances are one of the most effective tools for developing the power and leverage needed to prosper in today's business world. An avid practitioner of such arrangements in his own Harvard Computing Group consulting firm, Cunningham presents a strong argument for these affiliations, along with a comprehensive guide to their creation in Partners.com. "Today, it is no longer possible for firms to do it all alone," he writes. "Whether it is hardware for a computer system, a hosting service to provide e-commerce capabilities, or a distribution partner that will sell and service products, partners are essential." Showing precisely why these associations are particularly potent in areas like sales, finance, and distribution, Cunningham details the steps involved in their formation and implementation, beginning with the partnership he considers most essential: the one that must be forged between organizations and their employees before any of these others can even hope to succeed. Drawing upon winning coalitions created by B2B and B2C endeavors such as eBay, GoFish.com and Convistint, Cunningham then delves into everything from the technology involved to the contracts required. The result is a thorough examination aimed at those serious about finding innovative ways to improve their operations. --Howard Rothman

A REAL WORLD GUIDE TO PARTNERSHIPSComplex topics such as partnerships tend to be covered in a very fragmented manner. Partners.com does not have this problem. Cunningham ably deals with the people, process, technology and market issues that forge partnerships, but also how to manage, measure and change them. Rarely are these areas covered in sufficient detail, but here there is a roadmap with milestones and strategies that are working in the marketplace. Partners.com does for partnerships what Patti Seybold's Customers.com did for customer relationships. A classic!
Don't be fooled by the .com in the title- this is for allThis book is a prize! For those that are looking for the details behind partnerships the information here is not only relevant, but very comprehensive. The mixture of technology, strategy and culture required to pull of good partnerships is difficult for organizations trying to make it happen. Cunningham provides not only a great roadmap, but illustrated with real world examples of what has and has not worked. Do not be fooled by the .com in the title, this book is targeted at all businesses. I particularly liked the sections on self-service Partnerships and the "most important partners, your staff". A practical piece with great strategic insight. Organizations will be able to use this to hone their competitiveness, internal and external consultants will buy to emulate all that has been learned on this topic.

Partnering Paradigm is ExcellentEd Rigsbee's new book about partnering, and his emphasis on profiting from the partnering trend, is cutting-edge stuff. It's right on the mark, well written, and very practical. I particularly like his chapter on partnering with the competition. He's the guru on this topic.
Where one plus one equals more than two"Partnering" is where two or more dissimilar business entities promote the others for their own good. This book explains partnering, helps you identify the best partners, warns of partnering pitfalls, and coaches you in establishing profitable relationships.
In addition to partnering with other companies, the book describes partnering with your suppliers, customers and even your employees. It is full of examples and guidelines. For coverage, click on Table of Contents in the left-hand column of this page.
Ed Rigsbee is a gifted writer, successful marketer and electrifying professional speaker.
As a publisher, author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles and a consultant to the publishing industry, I recommend this book to publishers, the self-employed and business owners. It will expand you thinking about marketing. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.

Excellent reading! Thoroughly recommended!If there was ever a book whose time has come, Partnerships Tools is it!
We live in a time of freedom in our relationships---now, more than ever. In the past we were expected to marry and stay married, no matter what. Now, the divorce rate is soaring and many couples have no idea why or what to do about it. Indeed. "They believe that somehow there is something wrong with them because they don't already know how to make their relationships work, that somehow their lack of skills means that they are inadequate or stupid."
Help is here. Psychotherapist, consultant and author Alan Konell provides the means to deal with these new freedoms and for our needs for even more intimacy than ever. Partnership Tools enables the reader to make healthy choices and clear away old patterns to sustain and grow in our relationships. And this growth can only lead to evolution as human beings---individuals, families and the world.
In his easy-to-read writing style, Mr. Konell leads us to an understanding of 14 different tools for success. Partnership Tools includes forgiving, and requesting rather than complaining. We learn how to set boundaries, express appreciation, to be straight and share. And the evolution from conditional love to unconditional love: giving and receiving freely and making true commitments.
Alan's last chapter has to do with rituals in relationships. In this powerful segment we read how rituals help us step back and take the space we need to remember our connection to our partner. And to remember our commitments, "...to what was, what is and what will be. It is a celebration of achievement and an acknowledgement of our contribution, to each other."
Partnership Tools is not just a good book, it is a great book. Alan Konell has provided a new set of tools to create dynamic and fulfilling relationships. This reviewer regards Partnership Tools as a must-read for better communications and happiness, one that you should run to get, not just walk!
Written from a very practical point of viewPartnership Tools: Transforming The Way We Live Together by psychotherapist Alan Konell is an emotional self-help book that enables readers truly understand such vital practices to a relationship as forgiving, expressing conditional and unconditional love, making true commitments and much, much more. Written from a very practical point of view, chapters discuss not only how to improve the bond with one's partner, but also what to do when good intentions are not clear or obstacles to communication are seemingly too great. Partnership Tools is strongly recommended reading for anyone aspiring to, or involved in, a personal relationship.

Soul Talk is for EveryoneMy wife of twenty years and I are happy to have found Soul Talk. It provides us with insights about our relationship that we had not considered. For example, I had not considered how the words I use might not be processed by my wife in the way I meant them. Our brains are wired differently and the book gives us exercises to practice communication that works. We would recommend each person read the book separately, compare notes by chapter, and then use the information to learn how to talk more effectively to each other. Any relationship will grow through Soul Talk.
Straight-up. A real eye-opener.This is the stuff we all knew intuitively as children but forget by the time we are old enough to appreciate it. Ms. Atwood helps us connect or reconnect with a spouse, a friend, and really anyone else in our lives with the most powerful tool we have at our disposal - our natural and uniquely human ability to communicate.

Self-employment gurus Paul and Sarah Edwards and their co-author Rick Benzel strongly believe that "lone eagles"--those traditional embodiments of the business world's entrepreneurial spirit--may actually be an endangered species as the commercial world becomes increasingly cutthroat and competitive. Their solution? Mutually beneficial alliances. Teaming Up: The Small-Business Guide to Collaborating With Others to Increase Your Earnings, Reduce Your Costs, and Boost Your Business to New Levels examines this new concept and explains how to move from self-reliance to interdependence.

A definite primer for networking!Networking may seem like an obvious way to tell people about your business, but this book is full of wonderful details that help you build your business by cross-promoting and working with other entrepreneurs.
In their usual personal style, the authors define the various strategies for business arrangements, allowing you to choose the ones that are right for you.
You will learn the 10 effective ways of teaming up with others, how to find the right people to network with, business aspects of joint relationships, continuing the working relationship, and when to move on or stay on your chosen collaborative path.
A definite primer for networking, I recommend that any business owner, especially those in home business, learn the principles covered in Teaming Up.
Necessary success strategies for the future of work.The choice is no longer should you go into business for yourself but when. Eventually we will all be self employed.
Current employment trends, as spelled out by Jeremy Rifkin in "The End of Work," show that within the next decade over 90 million of today's 124 million jobs are in danger of elimination due to technology. Countless articles have been written about developing your resume while you're still employed and how to act as if you are self-employed even while working for a corporation.
Today, more than at any other time in our history, we are being faced with the probability of losing our job and having to find another or becoming self-employed.
The strategies, techniques, self-tests, and advice contained in Teaming Up are absolutely essential for everyone who plans to continue working into the future. It is a must read for all of our members.
