Rogue Union Book Club
Collaborating with the Enemy — with Adam Kahane
4 March 2026
Online
Open to All
What does it really take to collaborate when trust is low, stakes are high, and the people across the table may fundamentally disagree with you?
Rogue Union is hosting a public book club conversation around Collaborating with the Enemy by Adam Kahane, a renowned systems change and futures expert. This book, now in its second edition, has shaped how leaders around the world think about collaboration in the face of conflict, power struggles, and seemingly irreconcilable differences.
This won’t be a passive author talk.
It’s a proper book club event: we will reflect, discuss and connect to our practice together.
The Book
Collaborating with the Enemy explores how change actually happens in divided systems — not through consensus or control, but through courageous, creative collaboration with those we may not like, trust, or agree with.
It’s essential reading for anyone working in:
Social change, movements, and NGOs
Philanthropy and systems change
Government, academia, or social enterprise
Any space where the future depends on people working across deep difference

A Different Kind of Ask (Before the Event)
To help make this conversation as alive, grounded, and useful as possible — and as a way of giving back to Adam — we’re inviting participants to do one simple but powerful thing before the event:
Post a photo + reflection.
Adam has personally asked that each participant:
Post a photo of yourself with the book
(Paperback, e-book, or audiobook all count — preferably showing your face.)Share:
One insight that stayed with you
One question the book left you with
Post this on:
LinkedIn (or another social platform), and
As a short review on Amazon and/or Goodreads
Tag Adam Kahane in your post
Why this matters:
These reflections help spread the book’s message and impact.
Adam will actively use your insights and questions to shape the event around what you are grappling with.
Writing clarifies thinking — this turns reading into real practice, not homework.
Think of it less as an obligation, and more as a micro-act of leadership: pausing, naming what matters, and contributing to a collective field of learning.
Why Rogue Union Is Hosting This
At Rogue Union, we curate spaces for:
Leading-edge thinking
Self-introspection
Practicing what it means to go rogue — with purpose
This book club is part of that commitment: slowing down enough to read deeply, reflect honestly, and gather with others who are trying to change systems.
