Sommario/riassunto

A new approach, proven in the field, for making progress on our most important and difficult collective challenges    Based on Kahane's first-



hand experiences working with teams of business, government and civil society leaders around the world    Profound, personal and practicalThe two main ways that people try to solve their toughest group, community and societal problems are fundamentally flawed. They either push for what they want at all costs-in it's most extreme form this means war-or try to completely avoid conflict, sweeping problems under the rug in the name of a superficial "peace."
