They say the secret ingredient to the best recipes is LOVE... Things made with love usually do taste better after all. They also say that the supposed secret ingredient to success is HAPPINESS. It is true that you will typically be more successful if you are happy with what you are doing. I wonder then... what's the secret ingredient to successful partnerships...? I would venture to guess that the secret ingredient is being INTENTIONAL. - Intentional about understanding eachothers needs; - Intentional about supporting one another; - Intentional about positive and proactive communication; - Intentional about constructive conflict resolution; and - Intentional about collaborative success. See exhibit A with successful partners being intentional: the Oklahoma City Thunder graciously hosted the Greater OKC Minority Chambers (The Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce , @Oklahoma City Black Chamber, AICCOk American Indian Chamber - OKC chapter and Greater Oklahoma City Asian Chamber of Commerce). The best partnerships aren't dependent on a mere common goal but on a shared path of intentionality, desire, and no small amount of passion. While each organization does great things on their own...together we can do so much more. #thunderup #bettertogether #letsgo #okcminoritychambers Scott Loft Dan Mahoney @katrina wiley David Castillo @joanne davis Debbie Lindsey Nathan Hart Scarlet Le-Cao
