7 Components of An Effective Partnership • Pick the right person, not the like person • Define roles immediately- clear and concise – now and in the future • Have a written agreement – an imperative “think of it less as a legal contract and more as a resource to ensure everyone stays on track as years go by and memory fades.” • Communicate Often and Effectively – number one killer is lack of communication • Evaluate the situation- constant and systematic review of how partnership is operating – at least once a year • Don’t Fear a Restructure – could just mean redefining roles or resetting expectation – play to each other’s strengths. Strengths change. • Plan for an Exit – there are reasons partnerships cease to exist that have nothing to do with failure – that needs to be planned for. Remember: “The right people for the right reason for the right time.” ~ from Small Biz Bee
