I started seeking out a model for how people could more successfully learn one-another's strengths and limitations. And, at the same time facilitate adding new partners in mid-stream.<BR/><BR/>I ended up discovering something called an "On-boarding" process. Originating within the European offices of a well-known consulting firm in the late 1980s, this practice is finally making its way into the mainstream. The core idea is to both (a) shorten the ramp-up time for a new team member and (b) ensure that every new member of a team becomes adequately introduced with needed background information, concepts, and resources, and (c) that all team members are adequately introduced--reducing exclusive reliance on the traditional "time under the belt method."<BR/><BR/>So, the ideas Cassandra presents here can be used to better craft an on-boarding process for your partnerships.David Levinger (Santa Rosa, CA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15306440952845067249noreply@blogger.com
