What are the areas for attention in a leadership partnership?
A need for shared goals
A healthy level of commitment to achieve the strategic purpose
A way to work out what is important to either party and how to best communicate this – feedback is critical.
A need for appreciation , recognition, praise and acknowledgement
Ways to develop robust communication – a safe place to share, build trust and confidence
A thorny issue – when is the appropriate time for the pat on the back and strokes and how is this balanced against being a critical friend giving constructive feedback?
How can each partner talk to each other and achieve shared goals for the benefit of the organisation?
Definitely loyalty is needed. Imagine this, a big hotel displayed this sign on its bulletin board for passing motorists ‘have your next affair with us’ . Consider the ramifications of this offer!
