How To Handle Frustration With A Co-Founder Or Senior Hire

This week’s Post Bag question comes from Brandon: “How do I navigate intense frustration in a relationship?” James and Freddie take it into the working relationships founders find hardest, a co-founder, a key leader or an investor, and start with what that level of frustration is actually telling you. They cover the question to ask yourself before you say a word to the other person, the posture that decides whether the conversation goes anywhere, and the choice of time and place that most founders leave to chance. If there’s a conversation you’ve been putting off with someone you rely on, listen before you have it.
