Are two heads better than one? I am a solo practitioner who works with others (individuals and teams) on a regular basis. Whilst sometimes its great to work independently I would say yes two heads are better than one. Its great to have PARTNERS!
Perspectives
There is more than one way of looking at any situation. Working together helps us see that and develop greater empathy.
Ability
Even the most capable person can benefit from the skills of others. Find synergy with those you work with to get the best out of everyone.
Reflection
Working together helps you reflect on your own performance and that of those around you
Teamwork
Have you ever been in a team that was so in sync you didn’t need words to get things done?
Network
Working with others extends your network, connecting you to new people, organisations and ideas.
Encouragement
We all struggle at times, but how great it is when someone gives you a boost and helps you move forward.
Risk
Sometimes its good to take a risk, to challenge the status quo and try new approaches. Working in partnership makes it more likely that the risk will be considered and mitigated.
Success
Working in partnership means you are not only more likely to succeed, you are also more likely to enjoy the journey.
