In a world of diminishing trust, how can cross-cultural partnerships thrive?

When one party controls the finances, building productive partnerships isn’t easy. The research presented in Strong Together identifies what best promotes success. It also indicates the most common pitfalls which cause misunderstandings and frustration, resulting in failed, stalled, or less than optimal international co-operation.

Here is a guide to building a partnership that is embraced by those it is intended to serve - fresh insights and compelling examples, offering practical steps and crucial insights that can move decolonization forward. Here is invaluable clarity for those building partnerships across cultures, whether foundations, nonprofits, government departments, or international agencies.

Are you an investor, a seasoned social entrepreneur, a researcher, an academic, or a young person seeking to nurture cooperation across the boundaries of power? For you, this book is essential reading.

Review

"A timely, insightful, short, well-organized, and highly readable book. Highly relevant to the themes of decolonization and democratization of power facing our world today." —Jonathan Quick, MD, MPH, Managing Director, Pandemic Response, Preparedness, and Prevention, Health Initiative, The Rockefeller Foundation

"Understanding the values, goals, and assumptions of others is at the heart of building a better world together. This insightful, research-based book will help you think, speak, and act in ways which lead to true collaboration for the benefit of us all." —David Nussbaum, Chief Executive, The Elders Foundation

"A comprehensive, well-documented, insightful framework of how to re-think and tackle the tricky, entrenched challenge of partnering more wisely with the people we seek to help. She shows how to localize power where it really belongs, pointing the way to more sustainable impact and the lasting hope we all hunger for." —Randy Welsch, Co-Founder Jibu, Winner of the Financial Times Transformational Business Award

"How do we bridge the gulf between us and them? Many American entrepreneurs may not be aware that such a gulf even exists. This is an insightful and practical book for any social entrepreneur seeking to bring about change in a community or culture that is not their own. It's packed with great real-life examples and useful solutions. Before charging forth blindly with good intentions, I'd strongly recommend reading this book." —Reuben Coulter, Social Entrepreneur, Investor, and Fellow of the World Economic Forum

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding better ways to impact our world.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024
In the United States and the West, many capable, intelligent, bighearted, resource-rich individuals and institutions are passionate about helping those in need. We give our time, talent, and resources to those in Haiti, Ethiopia, Mexico, and our own inner cities. We bring food, water, education, healthcare, security, technology, organization, hope, and faith.

What happens when it doesn't seem to work, or blows up? Sometimes we keep going. Often we start over, rinse and repeat. Tragically, it's easy to become disillusioned and quit.

Are we asking the right questions? Can we learn a better way? How can we make a lasting difference?

If these questions resonate with you like they do with me, read this book. Dr. Andrea Nelson Trice conducted research using personal interviews of those on the front lines throughout the world. She attacked the problem like Brené Brown, using subjective research techniques, while drawing on her personal experience, intuition, and passion to weave a path forward. Whatever you do, don't quit. And if you want your time, talent, and resources to make a lasting impact, read this book.

Over the years, Westerners have learned that helping vulnerable people around the world is more complex than it first seems. Using interviews with local leaders from numerous Global South countries, Trice gives practical insights about the kind of help that is truly valued. Worth the read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for global social entrepreneurs
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024
What an incredible field guide for social entrepreneurs. A disciplined researcher, Dr. Trice conducted 90+ interviews with American and Majority World leaders to thoroughly develop and test her recommendations on how to create mutually beneficial cross-cultural partnerships. She doesn’t guess, blame or pick winners and losers among global stakeholders in development work; rather, she acknowledges that all partners bring unique assets and liabilities to the relationship, and that understanding these differences (including our shortcomings) can help us find a better balance in sharing power, showing honor, and in achieving short term goals vs. long-term human flourishing. Her many examples, data-driven observations, and first-person interviews (and her own life experiences) gave me confidence in her analysis, practical ways to engage, and ultimately, gave me hope. This should be required reading for all marketplace leaders and social entrepreneurs serious about working cross-culturally to create healthy, lasting change.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book emphasizes the importance of building trust, fostering inclusivity.
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024
"Strong Together" by Andrea Nelson Trice is a compelling guidebook that explores the power of collaboration and partnership in achieving social impact. Trice delves into the principles and practices of effective collaboration, drawing on real-world examples and case studies to illustrate the transformative potential of collective action. The book emphasizes the importance of building trust, fostering inclusivity, and leveraging diverse perspectives to tackle complex social challenges.

What resonated with me most was Trice's emphasis on the role of empathy and humility in fostering meaningful partnerships, as well as her practical insights on navigating challenges and conflicts that arise in collaborative efforts. I would recommend "Strong Together" to anyone involved in social change initiatives, from nonprofit leaders and community organizers to policymakers and philanthropists, seeking to maximize their impact through strategic collaboration and collective action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is Innovation Enough? The Human Side of Social Enterprise in the Developing World.
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
Posted on behalf of Timothy Wabukoti, who does not have an Amazon account.

Authored by an insightful commentator on development work, this book delves into the intricate dynamics of cross-cultural engagement in the realm of social entrepreneurship. As a seasoned Development Practitioner, I found the text highly relevant, addressing the nuanced challenges and potential pitfalls often encountered in the pursuit of international development.

The book's exploration of the evolving landscape of American contributions to Majority World countries, transitioning from traditional philanthropy to social enterprise, resonated deeply with my professional experiences. It skillfully dissects the equation for success in social entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of not just innovation and technical skills but also a profound understanding of local cultures and power dynamics. The inclusion of real-world examples, especially the case study illustrating both strengths and failures, adds a practical dimension to the theoretical discussions.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to fellow Development Practitioners, policymakers, and anyone involved in or interested in the evolving dynamics of international development. It provides valuable insights into the need for a holistic approach that integrates cultural understanding and human dynamics into the fabric of social enterprise initiatives. The thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter further enrich the reader's engagement, making it a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of effective and sustainable global development practices.
