About Magnetic Service

Partnerships are fast becoming the primary structure of contemporary business, as organizations partner with vendors, unions, customers, and even competitors to take advantage of short-term market opportunities, leverage intellectual capital, and create more flexible and innovative enterprises. Even more important are our everyday partnerships—with the person in the cubicle down the aisle, the department down the hall, or the supplier across town.

In this important guide, authors Chip Bell and Heather Shea tell you how to create and maintain truly great partnerships. Using examples drawn from the world of business and the world of dance to illustrate the principles and practices of great partnering, they lead you step-by-step from deciding if partnership is right for you to celebrating the end of a successful partnership.

Dance Lessons is the first book to fully explore the interpersonal side of partnerships, which is more often than not what causes partnerships to falter or fail—or to flourish and excel. It is a wise yet practical guide to the inner workings of great partnerships, revealing exactly how the champions choreograph their partnership dances for consistently great performances.
