Been reflecting this week on building valuable relationships at work and read this fitting quote from entrepreneur Sean O’Sullivan of SOSV on what makes a great founding partner: “How do you know you’ve got the right founder? You both see the world as being unacceptable the way it is, you know that together as a team you can make it better, and you are both willing to spend the next seven years trying to make this vision come true, even as your friends who work for bigger companies are making more money and buying better houses and cars than you can, as you plow your earnings and your learnings back into the business. You watch each other’s backs. You support each other and respect each other. You play nicely. And in general, you love their perspective and their advice. They help make you grow as a human being and as a leader. You trust them.” Let me know what things you look for when building solid relationships at work or with a cofounder. Have a productive week!
