Omar Zenhom explains how co-founders can reduce conflict by understanding each other's work styles, whether they prefer structure or freedom. Design workflows that respect both partners' needs and you remove friction so the business moves faster.
Fighting with your co founder doesn't have to be the norm. Yes, disagreements happen, but when you understand how each other work, you really reduce the tension. Most of the tension actually fades. If your partner thrives on structure, for example, and you thrive on freedom, you don't need to compromise your values. You need to understand that, hey, this person needs this to thrive. So I need to provide that for them. I got to give them the space for that. And you can't just leave this the chance and hope that everybody just gets along. You need to design your workflow in a way that respects everybody. You're going to feel more aligned and your business are going to move faster because you don't have all this friction. Now you're rowing in sync.
