In her Supernode 2022 talk, award-winning author, speaker, and business coach Pamela Slim shared how the ability to build partnerships rather than empires is an important trait in any business leader. This is because:
Partnerships require the ability to listen deeply to both partners and internal stakeholders.
Partnerships means fulfilling a long-term vision that requires patience and resilience in overcoming roadblocks.
Partnerships includes developing out-of-the-box solutions, a skill that includes ingenuity.
