Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polk and Chotas explore and destroy the myths, stereotypes, and misplaced fears that get in the way of female partnerships. Drawing from their own twelve-year partnership and from interviews with 125 women business partners across the world, they have learned something powerful: when women work together they discover a level of support, balance, confidence, accountability, and a freedom to be themselves that is rarely found in other work relationships. Heroic male partnerships are a staple business success story, but female partnerships rarely get the same kind of attention. This is a call for women to recognize and build on the inherent strengths that make them uniquely able to create successful, trust-based professional relationships. Readers are offered advice for handling potential challenges like finding the best partner, dealing with conflict, facing fears, taking risks, and knowing when to let go of a partnership. --
