4 Steps to Keeping the Love Alive

Your marcom colleagues might want to grow in ways you don't like or team with you on strategies or experiments you're not comfortable with. But flat-out refusing to consider their ideas stifles them — and the relationship because your colleagues will, in turn, treat you the same way.

Rather than restricting each other's freedoms, it's far better for partners to encourage each other to build on their own skill sets and confidence. That gives each of you the opportunity to grow both on your own and through each other. This is the only way true love — or a good fundraising/marcom partnership — can flourish.
