Why You Shouldn't Work With Friends

The Negatives
They know your weaknesses, your family’s issues, your failures, your insecurities, and it might hurt the relationship if things don’t work out. 

The Positives
On the other hand, if they know your weaknesses then they won’t be surprised by them. If they know your family’s issues, they’ll be more sensitive when they come up. If they know your failures, then they’ll know how to help you avoid repeating them. If they know your insecurities, they’ll know how to encourage you to try again. 

Finally, working together might hurt the relationship, but not if you’re honest with each other from the beginning. 

The Verdict
I like working with friends because your best friends tell you the most truth. (highlight that sentence to share it). I want to work with someone who cares about me and tells me the truth. 

Ignore the headline. Work with your friends.

The Unlikely Key To Resolving Conflict In The Workplace and At Home

You want clarity in your relationships at home. Resolving conflict in the workplace is equally important. You’re avoiding the very thing that will bring clarity and get rid of the lingering conflict once and for all.

Conflict is neither good nor bad, it’s just part of getting clarity. When conflict is done well the outcome is clarity. When it isn’t done well it causes even more confusion, hurt and anger.

Three Aspects of Healthy Conflict

1. Honest – Don’t say “It’s not a big deal” when confronting someone. Tell them that you’re hurt, confused or angry and give specific examples.

2. Direct – Don’t talk to someone else about a conflict, talk to the person you have the conflict with. This is the step people get wrong the most.

3. Mature – Planning ahead will allow you to stay calm and discuss the issues instead of just the feelings from the issues. Mature people seek a solution. Immature people seek to get even. Seek a solution over your own feelings of vindication.
