| "Pay close attention to the issues described in Chapter 2 because these are the most important themes in your partnership. For example, if themes of open communication and friendliness are emphasized, then you can count on this to be a beneficial and long-term partnership. However, if friendliness and harmony between you are hardly mentioned at all, your relationship will be more formal, less personal, and you probably won't think of one another as close friends, which can still be ok for business. Note also that the material in Chapter 2 is presented roughly in order of importance, so that the material given at the beginning of Chapter 2 is the most powerful." |
