Praise for The Power of We "In The Power of We, Jonathan Tisch reminds us again that working together still yields the best results. Jon has spent a lifetime mobilizing people and organizations to get a job done in business and in civic service. His experience, optimism, intelligence, and common sense are reflected in this fresh look at the rewards of partnerships." -President Bill Clinton "The Power of We offers a clear and compelling lesson in how today's business leaders can create new synergies and gain competitive advantage by learning how to partner successfully." -Kenneth I. Chenault, Chairman and CEO, American Express Company "Jon Tisch has lived the strategy he describes in The Power of We, and now this extraordinary man and successful leader shares his strategy with us. Building partnerships at all levels-social, intellectual, and political, as well as entrepreneurial-will be one of the keys to progress in the coming decades. Jon Tisch provides a road map for those who grasp that reality." -John Sexton, President, New York University "Being a leader requires vision, focus, and influence. Jonathan Tisch has exhibited all three in this great body of work about what it takes to be a partner and something bigger than yourself.

This book took 55 days to read 260 pages so you can tell it was not a page turner. The writing style was interesting. The book had lots of examples of succeeding through partnering with others. It had stories from successful people and how they were successful as a result of partnering. Jonathan Tisch is the CEO of Lowe’s Hotels. I wanted to read his book because I stayed in the Lowe's in Nashville and was very impressed with their service, cleanness and hospitality. The most interesting parts for me was the interviews in the book and the discussion on NYC’ s hospitality response to 9-11-2001. The interviews were throughout the book and I would usually quit reading after each. The 9-11 discussion was near the end of the book. Tisch and Weber use a conversational tone throughout the book. The Tisch tips at the end were interesting. The Lowe's organization now owns or managed the Mayflower Hotel in DC.
