Scenario

When business partnerships struggle with honest communication

Three of us started a small business together as friends and now that money and real decisions are involved, we keep defaulting to being polite instead of honest about what we each actually want. We'll spend an hour agreeing on things none of us really want because no one wants to be the difficult one.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The transition from friendship to shared enterprise has created a dynamic where preserving harmony takes precedence over the difficult conversations that genuine partnership requires.
