Research on New Book
I am working on the research for my next book, and I am seeking my readers' assistance. I'm studying successful or unsuccessful duos, with a particular emphasis on innovators in a variety of fields. For instance, Dwight Eisenhower and George Marshall would be an example of a very successful duo, as would Andy Grove and Gordon Moore at Intel. I'm looking for examples from the military, business, sports, etc. How can you help? Please send me ideas for successful or unsuccessful duos that I can analyze. In addition, if you know of individuals that I could interview for this research, please reach out to me. I appreciate your assistance and recommendations.

Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi had a very successful relationship with Jawahar Lal Nehru in the fight for India's independence.
A relationship which was unsuccessful was that between management gurus Stephen R. Covey and Hyrum Smith when their respective organizations merged (Covey Leadership Center and Franklin Quest).
1. Phil Jackson and Michael Jordon
2. Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant
Most cynics would ask how hard is it to win so many titles when you coached two of the greatest players of all time? That is the challenge - how did Jackson "coach" and manage these players - these egos - where they would do anything for him?
3. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak
4. Bill Hewlett and David Packard (probably over-done)
5. Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman
6. Bill Belichik and Tom Brady
7. Paul Allen and Bill Gates
8. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein
9. Petaeus and Galvin
10. Spielberg and Lucas
11. Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir
In the Corporate World:
1- Bill Gates & Paul Allen
2- Jobs & Wozniak
3- Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger
4- Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard
5- Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield
5- Jerry Yang and David Filo
6- Sergey Brin and Larry Page
7- Orville and Wilbur Wright
You should definitely give Retired General Josiah Bunting III a call on this: a wealth of historical information, novelist and someone who has a different take on leadership studies from business people so it would make a great discussion.
thank you, everyone. Keep the ideas coming!
Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger purchased more than 100 companies together. Seventy of their largest businesses are discussed in MOATS.
