Resolving business conflicts - with a little help from my mum
Some relationships are non-negotiable, but that doesn’t mean you always have to agree.
One of the most taxing aspects of running any enterprise is managing and sustaining long-term, necessary, but tricky relationships. It's something every business leader needs to do - be they a profitable but challenging client, a high-quality but erratic supplier, or a co-founder whose path (like yours) continues to evolve and change.
And while in the eight attempts I've had setting up businesses I've learned a lot about how to maintain and, where possible, strengthening these mandatory bonds, nothing has taught me more than my relationship with my mother.
I'll show you what I mean.
