Scenario

When high-performing teams become emotionally codependent

Our startup team of four has been through so much intensity together over the past two years that we've become almost codependent — we can't make decisions without everyone's input, we're all burnt out but afraid to take breaks because it feels like abandoning the others. The business is successful but we've lost ourselves in the collective.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared intensity can create bonds that support the work while eroding individual agency and wellbeing.
