We wrote the book on alliances. Twice.

Our newest book, Pathways Through Polarization, A Guide to Convening Alliances That Transform Conflict into Common Ground, written by Mike Leavitt, Rich McKeown, and Vince Ventimiglia, provides business leaders, policymakers, and individuals the inspiration and the practical guidance to find solutions to the important problems they confront. The art and science of alliances described in this book will provide a pathway through our polarized and fraught civic, economic, policy, and political environments.

Where some of the world’s conversations offer only polarization, alliances offer not just a pathway into difficult terrain but a pathway through it. Alliances drive innovative networks, consensus standards, productive businesses, policy solutions, and improved regulations and laws. Alliances await you, the new generation of leaders who are dedicated to civil engagement in trusted settings, who are substantive and innovative, who embrace complexity, and who desire to bring others along in the thrill of innovation and the celebration of enduring results.

Finding Allies, Building Alliances is the foundational text about how to create collaborative solutions to the greatest challenges facing organizations today. Business challenges extend far beyond you and your organization to the competitors within your industry and the regulators outside it. Finding solutions to larger issues requires cooperation between diverse stakeholders, and in this rapidly changing world, only those able to adapt and network successfully will produce fast, competitive solutions. Written by the co-founders of Leavitt Partners, Mike Leavitt and Rich McKeown, Finding Allies, Building Alliances includes a foreword by Clayton M. Christensen, author of The Innovator’s Dilemma and How Will You Measure Your Life? It will help leaders successfully bridge divides and turn competitors into collaborators.
