Interpersonal Business

Partnerships arranged for one or more of the following reasons: capital, convenience or courage – are destined for failure. You must be sure your motives are consistent with those of the other players and leave nothing to doubt or misinterpretation. You must also have significant quantities of trust and integrity, as well as a significant product or service that creates benefit to the marketplace. Many principles of business partnerships are similar to a romantic partnership. Once the courtship is complete, either take the plunge or beat feet!

The baggage of cynicism comes with the lack of ability to trust anyone. A sense of idealism and innocence is required in business. Always give benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. The quality of our organization is always judged by the character of those with whom we associate. Never compromise this axiom; hold the bar high.
