“All organisations (& partnerships) have strengths and all have areas where improvement is necessary.
The acceptance of this in an open, mature and positive way, without fear of failure, is vital for every organisation!
Successful organisations don’t worry about this or cover it up…they work on improving with a passion!”
The underlying belief….
