Friend and Foe provides the best roadmap I’ve ever seen for doing so—by a mile. – Robert B. Cialdini, author of INFLUENCE
Galinsky and Schweitzer are star researchers and teachers. Here they use their talents to bring order to the often contradictory research on when to cooperate and compete, and they distill their insights into practical tips that anybody can use. – Chip Heath, co-author of MADE TO STICK and SWITCH
Two of the most respected scholars on success explain how you can get along and get ahead. Their guided tour of how to cooperate and how to compete is authoritative, entertaining, and eminently practical! – Angela Duckworth, University of Pennsylvania
