Daniel Rickett reflected on 20 years of experience and found the essential components to be a blend of vision, relationship, and results. In "Making Your Partnership Work," he shows how to build a partnership by focusing on nine imperatives of partnership:
§ Creating shared vision
§ Establishing compatibility
§ Applying ground rules
§ Keeping the relationship open and personal
§ Building intercultural understanding
§ Fostering trust
§ Measuring progress
§ Tracking agreements, contributions, and outcomes
§ Learning and handling change together
"Making Your Partnership Work"—it’s like having a personal coach eager to help you build your ministry partnership.
