Discuss how key practices in the partnering approach to managing contracted relationships vary from those in the traditional approach for working relationships, goals, and communications.

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Answer will vary

With partnering, mutual trust forms the basis for strong working relationships while in traditional approaches there is suspicion and distrust with each party wary of the motives for actions by the other. With partnering, goals and objectives are shared and ensure common direction while traditionally each party's goals and objectives are similar but geared to what is best for them. With partnering, communications are open to avoid misdirection and thus bolster effective working relationships while in traditional approaches communications are structured and guarded.
