A comprehensive handbook on community-based partnerships, the information and processes are applicable to most partnership efforts. Strong, viable partnerships don’t just happen. They need to be understood, properly developed and well maintained. Skills, knowledge and experience are required when we bring people together to form useful and productive partnerships. Many of us do not feel confident in each and every aspect of partnering or, if we do, we may not be able to share our knowledge effectively with others.
The objectives of this book are to help people learn more about what partnerships are and to offer suggestions about how to be effective in them. It covers: types of partnerships, preparing for a partnership, the partnership process, knowledge attitudes and skills, and troubleshooting partnerships.
