How creative partnerships navigate recognition and individual identity

My creative partner and I both want recognition for our collaborative work, but we present ourselves differently to the world and it's creating weird competition between us that we don't acknowledge. In public we talk about being a seamless creative unit, but privately we're both keeping track of who gets more credit and feeling resentful about it.

What we've seen

Your collaboration requires public unity while your private need for individual recognition creates unaddressed competition.
