Partnering - the fast, effective way to profit from differences between people

If you’re brave enough to Cash in on Conflict, you’ll have to take a radically different approach to the way you exploit the differences between people in your organisation, your community, your life. Adopting a Partnering attitude means working with the reality that the differences between people can be the greatest source of development for you and for them. Cash in on Conflict shows that you can and will achieve the changes you want to see - in your organisation, your community, your life - and at lightning speed.

The aim of Cash in on Conflict is to provide people with an easy, engaging and amusing text that they can flip through in a few hours and return to later to remind themselves of the challenges presented, stories that made them chuckle, tools that were easy to apply and common sense approaches that they have yet to try.

What people say about Cash in on Conflict and Charlie Irvine’s work

	A thought-provoking and timely analysis of Partnering. Charlie Irvine provides ideas and examples of how people and organisations can partner for mutual success – as has certainly been the case with the British Council and its partnership with Charlie’s organisation, Questions of Difference. Sir David Green, Director General, British Council
	This is a dynamic and enjoyable read, which reveals the models and practices of Partnering. Charlie’s work is relevant to many of the challenges we have yet to overcome in organisations and gives you the opportunity to breathe more life into situations that are proving difficult. If your organisation is serious about paying attention to the quality of conversation and relationships that make up how organisations deliver performance, then you should read this book. June Boyle, Group Organisational Development Director, BT
	This is a genuine attempt to challenge all of us to adopt a Partnering ethos. Charlie Irvine has generously captured his thinking and approach in a way that is readily accessible. Cash in on Conflict disrupts the way we think about and work with differences, much in the way those of us who have worked with Charlie have been positively disrupted. Julia Marton-Lefèvre, Rector, UN-affiliated University for Peace
	You will be catapulted into a new way of thinking that could just make an adventure out of your day at the office tomorrow. And you will be laughing as you go. Scilla Elworthy, Founder of Peace Direct, Winner of the Niwano Peace Prize 2003, three times nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and international author.
	Charlie Irvine has an intuitive understanding of cognitive behaviour. His book helps us to use our thoughts and feelings positively in order to create effective strategic partnerships. You can open this book at random and find a gem on every page. Professor Shirley Pearce, Vice Chancellor, Loughborough University
