Powerful Partners
|
FEATURE
“
P
artner” may be the most
potent word in the English
language. One person may
be able to accomplish
quite a bit, but he or she is still just
one person.
Add a second person—a
partner who shares the same
goals—and the strength of that force
doubles. Whether you call this person
a partner, collaborator, comrade or
colleague, he or she takes on an
active role, especially in business,
and shares in the risk of a venture
and also in the outcome and success.
Together, strong partners can make
for a heady combination.
This month,
PPB
showcases
six individuals who have so strongly
succeeded with that critical
partner connection that they were
nominated and selected as some of
the best examples of how suppliers,
distributors, business services
companies and consultants can
work together as powerful partners.
What do these six do (or not do)
that makes their partnerships so
valuable? Turn the page to hear it
directly from this year’s standouts
and their nominators.
