From his book “Teachings of Russell M. Nelson,” he said:
“There is great power in a strong partnership. True partners can achieve more than the sum of each acting alone. With true partners, one plus one is much more than two. For example, Dr. Will Mayo and his brother, Charles Mayo, formed the Mayo Clinic. Lawyers and others form important partnerships. And in marriage, a husband and wife can form the most significant partnership of all—an eternal family.
Sustainable improvements in any endeavor depend upon on collaboration and agreement. Great leaders and partners develop the skill of sharing insights and efforts, and the pattern of building consensus. Great partners are completely loyal. They suppress personal ego in exchange for being a part of creating something larger than themselves. Great partners are dependent upon each individual developing his or her own personal attribute of character.
