Partnerships are a challenge; good, let's dive in
As a partner leader, it's your job to see things differently. Your job is to rearrange resources to provide more value for your customers.
Partnerships isn't for the faint of heart. You need to be willing to take risks and try new things. Yes, there are some best practices, but your job is to literally create new value that didn't exist before.
Don't shy away from the challenge. You're changing the way business is being done.
In 2023, let's dive into partnerships head first.
