Scenario

When business partners compromise their values to grow

My business partner and I built our company on being transparent with clients about our capabilities, but we've started overpromising to win deals and now we're both working 70-hour weeks trying to deliver things we knew we couldn't do well. We haven't talked about how this happened or what we're becoming, and I can see us both getting cynical about the work that used to energize us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are watching their shared principles erode in real-time while neither acknowledges the betrayal they're committing together.
