Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included: a special section on creating a 100-day bridgebuilding plan. Throughout, Eggers and Kettl tell fascinating and instructive stories of bridgebuilders who are transcending boundaries, partnering across sectors, and getting sh*t done.
