On how to partner internally and the importance of rekindling relationships
Happy Partnership Wednesday!
Here are 3 ideas from me and 1 question for you to consider this week to create partnerships you never thought possible.
3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
Partnerships are a term often reserved for connections with external people and organisations but they are just as important to internal cohesion and momentum.
II.
The basis for partnership is trust. Understanding the extent to which a colleague will do what they said and objectively stand up for you and your team when you’re not in the room is a good proxy for trust.
III.
Maintaining and increasing trust between teams starts with an intentional conversation to agree how teams talk, collaborate and resolve differences of opinion, all with the clear intention to help the other team become as successful as possible.
1 QUESTION FOR YOU
Most of us will move between multiple companies and industries in our careers. An important byproduct of this journey is a collection of relationships. Some of these relationships can get lost in time, while other can become the basis for future partnerships as people find their way into new and exciting roles and organisations.
With that in mind, this week’s question is a two-parter.
Where are the people you used to enjoy working with in a previous life, today? And is there an option to rekindle those relationships and form new partnerships?
