Partnerships are about sharing control.
It makes you feel out of control and vulnerable when you have not been informed of a work issue that you believe has serious implications for how you will prosper in your business. Spend the extra minutes making sure that your partners feel reassured that they have been included and updated on anything important to them, and your partnership will operate a lot smoother.
