Relationships cannot be forced by hard deadlines, bottom lines and collaboration of board rooms that hinder growth. Relationships are built over time by connecting, sharing and engaging our successes as well as our failures. This creates extraordinary opportunities because we are human and carry a unique trait called empathy that naturally wants to add value and help others.
