Scenario

When business partners develop unequal emotional labor distribution

My business partner and I started this company as equals but somewhere along the way I became the one who handles all the difficult conversations with clients and employees while they focus on the 'fun' strategic work. We've never talked about this shift and I'm starting to resent carrying the emotional labor of running this business.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Unaddressed role drift has created an imbalance where one partner shoulders the interpersonal burdens while the other remains protected from difficult conversations.
