The Power of Partnerships: The Next Step Beyond Tqm, Reengineering and Lean Production

This is a practical guide to empowering your organization and succeeding through partnerships. John L. Mariotti, a leading corporate figure, shows you how to use partnerships as the cornerstones for your competitive strategy. These partnerships are between companies and people who share common goals and strive to achieve the goals together.
The partnerships are established in a spirit of cooperation, collaboration, and fairness.
You can form four types of key partnerships, both personal and professional, with the help of this book: suppliers, customers, employees/associates, and special partners. The Power of Partnerships provides the mechanics of how to create, continue, develop, and sustain these partnerships. It provides assessment tools and checklists of common considerations and obstacles along the way. The Power of Partnerships is a must-read for every corporate executive.

John Mariotti was most recently president of Rubbermaid's Office Products Group.
