The greatest business partnerships on the surface all seem surprising because you have a very charismatic figurehead and a behind-the-scenes partner.
However, the genius of the partnership is in its contrast. For example:
- Bill Gates and Paul Allen—Microsoft
- Walt and Roy—Disney
- Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak—Apple
- Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger—Berkshire Hathaway
- Mark Cuban, Todd Wagner, and Christopher Jaeb—Broadcast.com
