Power Partners: How Two-Career Couples Can Play to Win

Explores the potential in two-income marriages for each member to help the other win at work and at home, detailing the successful relationships of well-known two-income couples

This is a book for high-achieving couples with separate career paths and for "co-preneurs" who combine skills and work together using teamwork by consensus. Even potential Power Partners lacking the fine-tuned communication skills of seasoned players should respond favorably to this upbeat book. It's about togetherness tactics for savvy and sympathetic co-mentors: how to facilitate the transfer of workplace smarts to fortify a marriage and homeplace smarts to further a career. Having a pair of rugged cellular phones helps, but a willingness to divvy up the responsibilities is better. Not just for those with access to limos and nannies, this is for all dynamic duos in cahoots. Many successful Power Partners are featured, most well known. Quizzes provide opportunities for dialog concerning role dilemmas and comfort thresholds about the perils of success. This is a high-demand book for spouses able to trade traditional outlooks for fresh cooperative strategies and high-energy teamwork.
