In Working Together, a fascinating and invaluable look at why great partnerships succeed, former Disney CEO Michael Eisner discusses how professional partnerships have contributed to his success. In addition, Eisner tells the stories of nine other highly successful business collaborations, including Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti, Bill and Melinda Gates, Joe Torre and Don Zimmer, and Brian Grazer and Ron Howard.

Interesting to see what all partners had in common

If you could sum up Working Together in three words, what would they be?

Five word description would be: Partner With Someone You Trust.

Any additional comments?

The book outlined several traits that many partnerships had. What I noticed the most was that to partner with someone, you must trust them explicitly. You should expect that they would act better on your behalf than you might. If you have any hesitancies about a person, including tints of selfishness, laziness or whatever could make them less of a valuable partner you should not partner with them. A great partnership can flourish if at it's core is mutual respect and trust in each others motives.

Great listen as many examples were recounted. It holds interest well.

Mastermind group

This book paints a clear picture of what a Mastermind group is and should be.

Felt like a magazine article

Nothing really new here. Just some profiles on famous partners. Would have loved more details about business and success.

Great examples

I love how he tells these stories while tying into his own experience. Wish there was more or an updated version.

Great book!
