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 />

effort cannot achieve significant<br />

results. It is the glue that holds the<br />

partnership together.
