When business partners recreate the toxic dynamics they tried to escape

My business partner and I started this company because we wanted to work differently than the corporate world but we've recreated all the same dysfunctions and neither of us wants to admit we're part of the problem. We keep having the same circular conversations about 'culture' and 'values' while avoiding the fact that we don't actually know how to work together when things get hard.

What we've seen

You started this company to escape corporate mess, only to build the same mess yourselves.
