Insurgent Tip by COMMON
Despite the best of intentions and working your a** off, some projects just don’t work out. If you read last week’s Insurgent Tip, you know a breakdown between collaborators almost always comes down to miscommunication.
And when the collaborators are operating with significantly different levels of resources and power — say a new startup and a worldwide firm — the consequences of the breakdown are similarly asymmetrical.
In a worst case scenario, these kinds of situations lead to lawsuits, fighting over money or damages. Obviously, you want to avoid the worst case scenario. So, where and how do you start looking for a solution?
When a collaboration doesn’t fulfill its purpose, we have to ask ourselves: what can we do to make the situation right? How can we restore the relationship? How do we move forward?
This Insurgent Tip is for entrepreneurs looking for strategies for making things right again, after they’ve gone wrong.
