Thank you Gena for a great essay! I like this new framing and how it places the responsibility on both people to strive to build the relationship for mutual benefit.
Nicely articulated, Gena. I liked your choice of image as well. Instead of fighting over the cake, they go back to the kitchen and bake together. Working with different teams and functions, we'd also like to identify synergies: 1+1 = 3, in addition to building together for win-win. More than the sum of our parts, always felt inspiring and team-building. Thanks
Some of this is pretty difficult, and I would think the truth of it especially in interpersonal contexts could be one of a bit of give and take. I.E. in a personal relationship you may not get EVERYTHING you want, and to insist on getting everything means that you scorch the earth on many relationships rather than bending a bit to it. I'm curious / excited to read your book, but I'd be interested to hear if I'm basically missing some reasoning here?

Thanks, Jeremy- so glad it resonates, and would love to hear if/how it ends up being helpful!
