Bite-size piece: create holistic relationships
High-performing collaborations encourage partners to get to know each other not only professionally (e.g., to find out about each other's preferred ways of working, expertise and experience, and professional ethics and standards) but also personally (e.g., to find out about each other's personal likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, feelings and opinions). This holistic 'whole person' approach to developing relationships between partners results in a deep mutual understanding and appreciation that can be used as a firm foundation upon which to build trust and mutual respect. Most importantly, in terms of tangible results, it enables partners to support and encourage each other to contribute all that they have to offer (both personally and professionally) to the achievement of a collaboration's objectives.
