Relationship and Strategy Management
Relationship and Strategy Management
For Co-Founders or Partners
56% of firms would have never launched without two business partners/co-founders agreeing to work together. These relationships are crucial to the business but can over time become volatile and increasingly challenging.
“Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.”
– G.K. Chesterton
This quote about marriage could just as easily apply to the founder-partner relationship. Co-founder/partners face many of the same challenges as marriage partners: difficulties communicating, diverging visions for the business and issues of trust are just a few examples. However, if these problems are discovered early enough they can be addressed before serious damage is done to the relationship or the business!
