When creative partnerships become overly cautious about conflict

My longtime creative partner and I used to finish each other's sentences, but lately we've been second-guessing every choice the other makes and our feedback sessions have become exercises in diplomatic disagreement. We're being too careful with each other and the work is suffering from our politeness.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to preserve creative partnership can create a politeness that protects the relationship while starving the work of necessary friction.
