Bestselling author Jennifer Kahnweiler (Quiet Influence and The Introverted Leader-over 20,000 copies sold each) offers a five-step process that will help introverts and extroverts understand and appreciate each other and work together to achieve more than they ever could on their own.
Mick and Keith. Jobs and Woz. FDR and Eleanor. Gilbert and Sullivan. History is filled with examples of successful introvert-extrovert partnerships. But how can two people who sometimes seem to be from different planets not just work together but make extraordinary products, create great works of art, and even change history?
Jennifer Kahnweiler says the key is to remember that these relationships are most successful when opposites stop emphasizing their differences and use approaches that move them towards results. She provides a five-step process that helps introverts and extroverts understand each other's "cultures," use their inevitable conflicts to spur creativity, find the right roles within their partnership, enjoy each other's company, and adapt and adjust their roles when working with clients. These partnerships require constant maintenance-opposites don't attract, they have to work at it. But when they succeed they produce exponential results. Blending the two points of view allows both partners to see and act on things neither partner would have separately.

      Through research, historical examples, and firsthand anecdotes, Kahnweiler provides an insightful examination of the ways introverts and extroverts can find common ground and help each other grow. Narrator Tiffany Williams's strong voice commands listeners' attention. Her emphatic tone creates a deliberate delivery that allows listeners to follow the author's points. However, it's a good thing this audiobook is only a few hours long because her energy level could be exhausting to some for a longer duration. For this production, though, prose and voice are a strong match for anyone looking to enhance the collaboration of extroverts and introverts. L.E. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine

      Kahnweiler (Quiet Influence) asserts that introvert-extrovert relationships are most successful when opposites stop focusing on their dissimilarities and apply approaches that steer them toward results. She posits a five-step, "ABC" process by which to do this: accept the alien, bring on the battles, cast the character, destroy the dislike, and realize that each can't offer everything. Her advice to both intro- and extroverts to be patient with and learn from the other promises superior results. VERDICT Helpful in comprehending and appreciating the differences in others.
