When creative collaborators avoid defining shared success

Four of us started a creative project together and we've discovered we all have different ideas about what success looks like, but nobody wants to be the one to insist on their vision because we're afraid it will break up the collaboration. We're kind of paralyzed by trying to be considerate of everyone.
