"This book addresses one of the major problems facing global health: leadership without cooperation." —President Jimmy Carter

"The fight for global health equity is a struggle that we can't even think about winning without the right partners. This book presents very important lessons about collaboration, including some that we learned from working together on MDR-TB in Peru. Anyone who wants to succeed in global health, to work effectively for social justice, should read and know how to practice Real Collaboration."—Paul Farmer, author of Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor

“Collaboration is imperative for success. The complexity of global health problems far exceed the capacity of individual organizations and governments to deal with them effectively. This book provides invaluable guidance for the leadership, managerial, organizational, and political competencies needed to achieve that critical collaboration.”—James E. Austin, author of The Collaboration Challenge

“This book should be required reading for everyone who works on health or development or in a large organization or bureaucracy."—Alison Drayton, Former Guyana Delegate to the United Nations
