This can be challenging, but ensuring fairness is still possible. Openly discuss the perceived imbalances with your partner, while emphasizing the importance of fairness for the long-term health of the partnership. Propose solutions that might involve re-evaluating on a regular basis how resources, responsibilities, and benefits are distributed. This about creating mechanisms like regular reviews and adjustments to agreements to respond to any changes in the partnership dynamics. Transparency and ongoing communication are your best tools to maintain balance and ensure that all parties feel valued and fairly treated, while avoiding resentment.

From my experience leading partnerships, success lies in focusing on unique value creation rather than size differences. I've found that documenting each party's contributions and establishing clear KPIs upfront helps maintain balance. Smaller partners should emphasize their expertise, while larger ones must avoid dominating decisions. The key is structuring agreements where both parties' success is interdependent. Proactive communication about constraints has consistently helped prevent power dynamics from becoming problematic.
