Stacy L. Chin on why co-founders with different values clash under pressure. When founders spend more time together than with spouses, stress reveals who they really are. Talent can't fix misalignment.

And over time, that misalignment might create so much friction that no amount of talent can overcome.

You see each other under pressure, you see when things get messy, and you just see how people act when control slips. Character always shows up.
