Chapter6<br />
The design lab participants identified<br />
a shared, compelling mission—coupled<br />
with a strategic plan to accomplish<br />
it—as the third most important<br />
characteristic <strong>of</strong> a high-performance<br />
partnership. A clear mission defines<br />
the partnership’s soul and reason for<br />
being. Without it, a collaborative<br />
effort cannot achieve significant<br />
results. It is the glue that holds the<br />
partnership together.
