This is what emerged during Roshini and Meenakshi’s recent talk at Asia Professional Speakers Singapore-the “soft” stuff isn’t soft at all. It’s the backbone of any strong partnership.
Here’s what has kept them going for over a decade:
Shared Vision—Knowing where they want to go, and more importantly, aligning on how fast they want to get there.
Shared Values—This has been their compass in decision-making, ensuring they stay true to themselves and each other.
Shared Revenue (50:50) —A true partnership means sharing the wins equally.
Independent Growth—They’ve grown individually while still nurturing their partnership.
But how do they make all this happen? It’s all about conversations—and not just the easy ones. There are many, many conversations about:
▶️ Vision and pace
▶️ Strategy and tactics
▶️ Roles, responsibilities, and decision-making
▶️ Tracking workflows and systems
▶️ Fairness, trust, and revenue sharing
▶️ Conflict—because they don’t always agree, but they always figure it out.
* And what about leaders in organizations?
* Do they feel the weight of going it alone?
* Where do they get their support from?
Their journey has shown that having these conversations isn’t just for partnerships; it’s what great leaders need to build resilient teams and find their own support system.
Excited for what’s coming next!
