Scenario

When work partnerships become avoidance systems

My department head and I have been working together for five years and we've developed this system where I handle all the difficult conversations with our team and she handles upward communication but I think we're both avoiding the conversations we need to have with each other. Our partnership works but it doesn't feel sustainable.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people create complementary roles that enable them to avoid direct conflict while slowly undermining their actual effectiveness.
