What are the best practices for maintaining positive relationships with former partners?

It is always better to stay connected with all your former mates. Industry is very small therefore stay helpful to each other and always strive to share information with your colleagues that can be useful for them. A little help from your side means alot to them.

Partnerships move forward for various reasons. We out-grow roles, goals change, expectations change or there is an irreparable breakdown. Be objective, recognise why you are going in different directions, agree terms and acknowledge the benefits of the past relationship. Sometimes the connection continues, through social contact, and recommendarions. Sometimes it does not. When you the relationship ends. Set your boundaries. Let the relationship go, act with grace, embrace your new identity and move on ??

Being genuine and authentic, in my experience, is by far the most effective (and the most fun!) way to cultivate partnerships long term. The moment you become transaction oriented, the glow fades. Also, as they say, we have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Use them proportionally! Listen at least twice as much as you speak. And by “listen” I mean “really listen” as if your life depends on it. Then remember. And you are set up for amazingly successful follow-up at the right time.

I say, be empathetic, outside lives get affected by inside partner pressures. Be the friend first.. But not an easy touch..There was a time when it was all good and felt right Remember that, look back and use it as a learning moment.

To start....Avoid speaking poorly of a former partner to common contacts. It looks like that has already been mentioned. :) I would focus any necessary conversations on practical transitional matters. Wish them well if your values and visions no longer align, always take a high road even when someone else might not.

Even when you go separate ways you should always show support and respect for each other. Sometimes time changes what people’s needs are

I have former colleagues that I'm currently mentoring. We've agreed that we're going in different directions but my expertise is helping my former partners build their new ventures and move around the potholes of starting and growing a business.

These are the most I'm doing; bridging them into relevant networks and resources, Promote their best practices and products.

Yes, stay in touch. Maintain the relationship, put it into more casual friendship than as work-partners. Friendship staying longer than work??

Staying in touch is critical. Finding ways to chat, text or forwarding a pertinent article will always keep the avenues of communication open. Who knows, that past partnership may not have worked, but future partnerships can be introduced!

It's wonderful to follow former partners, rejoice in their success, acknowledge them publicly to let them know you are rooting for their success even if you are no longer in partnership.

Former Partners has special role in our improvements either through knowledge or economical status that we should Congratulate them whenever we see that they have won an award or did good achievement etc

Rumors or gossiping about former colleagues or partners is poisonous. You hurt yourself by engaging in gossip because once it's out, it can never be put back in the bottle. The impact of gossip is deep and spreads wide very quickly. Think twice before starting gossip or even engaging in someone else's bad behavior. Rise above it and you will elevate your own reputation as well as someone else's.

I always go into a meeting looking to be a resource for my customer instead of a seller. I’m there to solve a problem and if I can’t solve, give recommendations on how to solve it even if it doesn’t directly benefit me.

Only stay in touch if there is a good reason to, for example co-parenting children. If your former partner was abusive in anyway then stay clear, you do not need that negative and abusive energy in your life, you need to move on. It can take years of recovering from a partner's narcissistic behaviours, and recovery can only start when they have no influence over you.

The important question is when is it of value to you and your partner to maintain a relationship after you've gone your separate ways. Many partnerships end due to creative or managerial reasons, in those instances you may remain amicable and still enjoy a professional, mutually beneficial relationship. It is when the split occurs due to deeper conflicts that you need to consider if it's best to arrive at an appropriate and agreed upon statement when asked by former clients, vendors or team members about the separation. Agreeing on rules of engagement as how you will engage at events or with common clients or vendors will preserve the dignity of your former partnership. You may not have remained friends, but can still be friendly.
