Effective collaboration requires common understanding across partners, collective leadership, and strong process and relationship-management. With these critical elements in place, partnerships can thrive and be successful. Without them, partnerships are likely to under-perform or fail altogether.
Paying attention and investing quality time in the partnering process itself is critical to success.
