Partnership

In society, we enter partnerships because we can achieve more through collaboration that we can in isolation. And in our personal lives, we are drawn to partners because they bring out the best in us. They allow us to create something together that we couldn’t have done alone. There needs to be a common purpose – a mutual goal or set of ideals and aspirations. Partnership works when each party complements the other – the strengths of the one compensating for the weaknesses of the other, and vice versa. Partnership is a journey in which we walk together with others. As soon as the paths diverge, the partnership is over.
