Deep dives
Building a Terrible Partnership
To ensure a terrible partnership, it is crucial to have the same knowledge base, experiences, and skills as your partner. This redundancy makes one of you unnecessary and results in giving away equity for no incremental benefit. Misalignment in time, money, or knowledge is also essential. The absence of agreements and clear expectations, communicated only through handshakes and unspoken assumptions, fosters misunderstanding and conflict. Disproportionate workloads and resentment further deteriorate the partnership. Misaligned mission, values, and similar interests also contribute to failure. It is crucial to find partners with complementary skills but shared long-term goals, decision-making processes, and cultural values to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
