Mostly because we found each other in our core values, we were willing to go the extra mile because we felt the starting point was unacceptable with regards to the quality of care for the clients. Commitment ment 24/7 available.

Furthermore respecting each others and each others qualities work very well. As he had his experiment in the primary field, we got trust from the locations where we came to help. I was well known with the upper management so we got the trust from them aswell to address what was actually needed for sustainable change.

Lastly, supporting each other regardless. We both had moments where our emotions got the best of us for example when we found some really bad stuff that happened on these locations and BOD tried to play it down rather than addressing it. It needed to change and I was not always that tactical in my communication to the CEO. He supported me in public and provided honest feedback in private and we dealt with it together. Same when he made an error. We could just completely trust eachother.
