Everyone talks about leadership and teamwork, but where are the truly inspiring examples? Look closer, and you’ll find extraordinary small teams behind many of history’s greatest achievements.
It Takes Two or Three reveals the secrets of epic teamwork. Discover how small teams shaped the world—from the women’s rights movement in the 1800s to the Wright Brothers’ first flight in the early 1900s, from Hillary and Tenzing’s summit of Mount Everest to Apollo astronauts overcoming life-or-death crises. Even creative duos like Gilbert and Sullivan, who barely got along, produced legendary work.
With gripping true stories from the world of exploration and discovery, mountaineering, art and design, rock and roll, Hollywood, and much more, this book uncovers what makes a team succeed—and why even the best sometimes fall apart. Packed with valuable insights on leadership and innovation, and written by the award-winning author team of Borkan and Hirzel, It Takes Two or Three - The Superpower of Small Teams is an unforgettable journey that will change the way you think about collaborating with others.
