This terrific book helps us attain a new level of thinking by teaching us how to think better together.

Simultaneously filled with insight and application, Collaborative Intelligence is engaging, relevant and valuable. In an increasingly collaborative world, this is a remarkable book for our times!"

This is a breakthrough book."

"I have worked with Dawna Markova and Angie McArthur for several years, focused on achieving better results through intellectual diversity. It has worked well, especially as we needed to think differently about our future business.

The “team” becomes the hero…not individuals."
