Scenario

When business partners' commitment to honesty becomes destructive under pressure

My co-founder and I built our startup culture around 'radical honesty' but now that we're scaling and things are stressful, our honesty has become brutal and I think we're using transparency as an excuse to be cruel to each other. We don't know how to dial it back without losing what made us effective in the first place.

More people experience this than they realize.
