If your company is dependant on her expertise, then you probably won't be able to survive without her. I advise that you make every attempt to appease her, giving in to her every demand if you must. It's doubtful that you'll ever be able to replace such a valuable employee. |

And why would you consider making her a partner then, why not one of your "other" star employees.
Has her "rebelluous behavior" and questioning your authoritiy, been beneficial to the company, and merely bad for your ego? |

Sounds like a marriage situation (or potential intimate partnership relationship) more than a corporate decision. . .?
From your statement, this 'star' employee appears to keep you alert and aware; treat her well, and with continued respect, for the creative juices that she generates in you . . . I see no peril for you - either way you choose - as you already admit to having awareness of 'warning signs' (altho all choices contain some element of risk). |

I would advise you against it. If you're the boss and she has already questioned your authority and disrespected you, it's only going to get worse if she is elevated to equal footing with you as a partner. Maybe you should consider giving her a raise or more vacation time instead... |

Giving her a partnership is a difficult decision. Once she has more power, will she butt heads with you whenever she disagrees? If you totally depend on her, will she gun for your job once she gets higher up? Would you be useless if they found out she did your job? Talk to her and let her know you want to make her a partner, and have let her know your hesitations.
If she wants it she will work for it. |

Hell no! This is your life. This is how you make your money. Why make it more complicated by adding one of your employees into the mix. If you totally depend on her than set up some kind of retention bonus. Give her a bonus every six months for staying with the company. She has to work the entire 6 months and then will get the bonus.
A business partnership is like a marriage. Easy to get someone on board with you but not easy to manage the daily relationship, and harder than hell to get rid of them. Anything they do while in that relationship, will reflect on you, and you will also be legally responsible for. |

if you do not think a partner can contribute the same as you I wouldn't advise it. Loyalty is one of the top priorities in a partnership as well |
