You're navigating partnership dynamics. How can you ensure each member feels empowered to contribute?

Defining clear roles and being open to new ideas and innovations foster this, alongside having open dialogue and constructive feedback mechanism will help one achieve this. There should be mutual respect and everyone should be kept accountable.

My strategy is to pad every decision with an open door for improvement. Reaching out to partners makes everyone feel like they have a stake, and so they are then more likely to be motivated to contribute to the project's success. Asking specific questions can spark new and impactful ideas, even when the person had not planned on weighing in.

I am not sure this skills applies to all types of partnerships. In many cases, you start a partnership almost like a community of practice. Members may not have specific roles, or their roles may evolve as the partnership evolves too.

- Encourage open communication - Define clear roles and responsibilities - Foster an inclusive environment - Recognize and celebrate contributions - Provide access to resources and support - Promote collaborative decision-making - Offer opportunities for skill development - Set shared goals and objectives - Establish regular feedback mechanisms - Build trust and mutual respect

Beginning with clear roles is key, as is adapting when those roles change. Rarely is a partnership what both plan, these are outlines and goals being tested. When things don't work immediately, exploring a change in roles is key. Adapting leads to better partnerships, so roles aren't set in stone. Once the partnership finds its groove, those roles solidify. Defining clear roles is a process, not something just done at the beginning.

Para diálogos abertos e inclusivos, reforço a importância da CNV (Comunicação Não Violenta) e da recorrência necessária para o bom andamento dessas interações.

Na minha experiência como gestor de parcerias, acredito que uma comunicação empática e assertiva é essencial para criar um ambiente em que todos se sintam confortáveis para participar efetivamente das discussões. É importante nos colocarmos no lugar dos outros participantes, considerando suas perspectivas, e fornecer feedbacks assertivos que promovam o crescimento individual e da parceria como um todo.

Building strong relationships with your partners requires an open dialogue to build trust and deliver results. Clarity and honesty help keep you top of mind.

Dem Gegenüber die Möglichkeit geben, seine Bedürfnisse, Beweggründe und Inhalte zu transportieren und diese ernst nehmen sowie in die eigenen Überlegungen und Entscheidungen einfliessen lassen ist aus meiner Sicht zentral für eine erfolgreiche Partnerschaft.

One thing that I have found helpful is fostering open dialogue among partners. At EasyWeGo, we hold regular check-ins and create platforms for sharing thoughts and ideas. For instance, during our expansion into India, open dialogue allowed us to address concerns promptly and integrate valuable local insights. This culture of inclusivity ensures everyone feels heard and valued. Encouraging partners to voice their opinions not only builds trust but also leads to better decision-making. When each member knows their input can influence the partnership, they become more invested in its success, leading to a stronger, more united team.

É sempre importante trabalhar o respeito sob a perspectiva da empatia, onde sabemos que jamais estaremos no lugar do outro, mas nos esforçamos ao máximo para nos colocarmos nesse lugar.

In my experience, mutual respect is the foundation of any successful partnership. At EasyWeGo, we make it a priority to recognize and value each other's expertise. One time at work, we faced a disagreement about our workspace booking strategy. By approaching the situation with respect and valuing each other's perspectives, we found a solution that satisfied all parties. This respect is evident in daily communications and conflict resolution. When partners feel respected, they are more empowered to contribute their best work. Ensuring every voice is heard and considered creates a positive and productive partnership environment.

Obwohl beide Parteien ihre eigenen Interessen und Ziele verfolgen ist der gegenseitige Respekt unerlässlich. Aktives Zuhören und auf die Bedürfnisse und Beweggründe des Gegenübers eingehen sind der Grundstein für eine erfolgreiche Partnerschaft.

Criando um ambiente seguro, que acolhe ideias e deixa claro os motivos delas serem ou não aceitas. Todos são capacitados para contribuir com ideias, até o mais inocente pode dizer algo que nos ajude a rever o processo, a grande questão é: os critérios de uma ideia ser aplicada ou não.

It's crucial to foster mutual respect within a team, as it builds trust and boosts creativity by valuing everyone’s perspective. This respect eliminates communication barriers and hesitation, making members confident to share their ideas. Courtesy and understanding ensure no one steps on anyone's toes, maintaining a balance where all voices are heard and considered. Ultimately, mutual respect creates an atmosphere where everyone feels empowered and collaborative.

In the dynamic world of business partnerships, empowering each team member contributes to the overall success. When people feel they have an essential role, their sense of ownership increases, and this is achieved by providing opportunities for decision-making. When team members have decision-making roles, they become more engaged and inspire others to achieve business and partnership goals. Even small decisions can have a positive impact instead of being only a passive member of a team.

One thing that I have found helpful in empowering partners is inclusive decision-making. At EasyWeGo, we ensure all members have a say in key decisions. For example, when deciding on eSIM pricing strategies, we included input from all relevant partners. This approach not only brings diverse perspectives but also fosters a sense of shared ownership. When partners feel their opinions matter, they are more committed to the partnership's goals. Inclusive decision-making enhances trust and collaboration, leading to better outcomes and a more engaged team.

Mutual respect is crucial for a successful partnership dynamics as it forms the foundation of trust, collaboration, and effective communication. Without mutual trust and respect, it can be difficult to navigate conflicts, leading to reduced productivity and underperformance. In my experience, open and honest communication and recognition of contributions are the best ways to establish trust and allow all parties to value each other's contribution.

Algo que pode contribuir de modo valoroso com o processo de tomada de decisão nas organizações é definir cuidadosamente as áreas estratégicas da empresa que devem ser envolvidas neste momento. A visão da diretoria, presidência e seus vice-presidentes é importante, mas não deve estar isolada, é comum que haja certa miopia por conta da distância do cliente final. Não é incomum que as áreas ligadas às operações sejam preteridas nas tomadas de decisão. A perspectiva melhora quando se consideram informações e experiências diretas das áreas operacionais nos processo de decisão. Um colegiado equilibrado terá informações mais frescas e relevantes e isso aumenta as chances de que as decisões finais sejam mais acertadas e seguras.

In my experience, supporting the growth of each partner strengthens the entire partnership. At EasyWeGo, we offer professional development opportunities and celebrate achievements. One time at work, we organized a training session for our team on the latest eSIM technologies. This not only boosted morale but also enhanced our team's skills and knowledge. When partners grow together, the partnership becomes more robust and adaptable. Recognizing and supporting individual growth creates a positive environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute their best.

This is actual a quite hard one, we experienced: 👉 Different verticals operate differently and you need to adapt to this 👉 Creating content and supporting material for your partners is at least as important as acquiring new partnerships 👉 Don't forget to reward adequately if growth is finally happening!

One thing that I have found helpful is implementing a system for continuous feedback. At EasyWeGo, we regularly assess each member's satisfaction and contribution. For instance, during our launch of workspace booking services, ongoing feedback helped us quickly address issues and celebrate successes. This continuous dialogue keeps the partnership dynamic and responsive to the needs of its members. Regular feedback ensures problems are promptly resolved, and improvements are constantly made, leading to a more effective and harmonious collaboration.

Aus meiner Sicht ist es zentral nicht lediglich kontinuierliches Feedback einzuholen sondern anschliessend auch die richtigen Schlüsse daraus zu ziehen und versuchen, mit diesen Feedbacks die Partnerschaft weiterzuentwickeln. Letztendlich profitieren alle Parteien, wenn die Partnerschaft weiterentwickelt und damit auf ein neues Level gehoben wird. Gemeinsame Weiterentwicklungen aufgrund von erhaltenem Feedback leisten einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Partnerschaft.

Especially in the process of building a new partnerships program from zero this may be the most crucial one: 👉 Take note in feedback of your partners - what did go well, what could you improve and what was feeling good already? 👉 Feedback is always constructive in both ways - if it's just complaining without a hint of what or how to improve, it's not valid 👉 Figure out the best channels to get feedback from your partners - is it really an email or are there other possible ways to stay in touch?

You should actively listen to ideas, celebrate strengths, and make everyone feel valued. Simply, open ears and open minds!!!

In my experience, inclusion is a culture which should be fostered right at the beginning to navigate any thoughts from others which prevent them to voice their opinions…with inclusion, it should be also communicated that everyone is responsible for the result and not a single person so voicing opinions and contribution is the only way forward

Listen, listen, listen. Don't plan responses or have an agenda, but rather listen for the purpose of understanding your colleague/partner/client. As Walt Whitman puts in in Song of the Open Road, "We convince by our presence." Be truly there, listen attentively, respond accordingly with honesty and authenticity, and the same will be returned to you in kind.

In my experience, it's important to recognize the unique strengths each partner brings to the table. One time at work, we faced a challenge integrating our services in a new market. By leveraging a partner's local expertise, we overcame obstacles more efficiently. Additionally, fostering a culture of transparency builds trust and openness. At EasyWeGo, we share successes and failures openly, which helps us learn and grow together. Another key aspect is celebrating milestones, big or small, to keep motivation high. Recognizing achievements and progress fosters a positive atmosphere and encourages continued effort and collaboration.
