“…Misener and Doherty (2012) identified relationship quality attributes including engagement, balance (e.g., a two-way give and take approach), consistency, and trust; they also highlighted as imperative the collaborative skills, such as interpersonal (e.g., communication), conceptual (e.g., planning and decision making), and technical (e.g., coaching, fundraising).
