When you see a partnership’s dirty laundry in front of the media, you know they didn’t prepare and go through the process of mapping out their relationship beforehand.

Like all marriages, either you get counseling or you get divorced and hope that the next marriage works out – either way, counseling is needed because for all you know the next marriage will have the same problems.

We keep seeing in the market how companies are striking alliances while forgetting to actually establish a relationship with the people who make it happen at each firm. In this case, you mean to tell me that the executives responsible for the relationships on either side didn’t see this coming a mile away? Hard to believe.

What seems to have happened here is very common. Two firms signed financial and strategic deals without actually talking about it to each other.  They probably failed to see each other face-to-face to create something together. They forgot to ask the most basic and key question: Can we, as people, actually make this happen regardless of how our companies work? Do we trust each other enough to take the lipstick off the pig and call out the elephants in the room? If you can’t have this kind of straight and direct conversation, why partner in the first place?

Like a good friend of mine always said, “It’s not what I like about my wife that led me to marry her, it’s knowing that I could learn to live with the things that drove me nuts.”
