Effective Team

Last night when our class was discussing the chain of an Effective team it reminded me of a Marriage or Relationship. The chain has the following characteristics:

Clear Goals
Relevant Skills
Mutual Trust
Unified Commitment
Good Communication
Negotiating Skills
Appropriate Leadership
Internal Support
External Support

Reviewing this made me think of why relationships fail. One of these characteristics are not being met, some are easy to fix and others may not be as easy, but it takes all parties to comply with each one in order for it to work. Growing up I have always wished I could be in a relationship like my parents. They are truly each others best friend and satisfy each of these characteristics. I thank my parents for setting a great example of a healthy relationship and I strive to find one equally as good. Looking at this list think about your own relationship and find out if anything is missing, meet with your partner and discuss. In order to resolve the problem both parties must want to find a solution. I know how it feels to be in a one sided relationship, it is frustrating and gets no where fast when your the only one trying.
