The #1 Reason Teams Fall Apart (and How to Prevent It)
This week, I’m talking about one of the biggest factors that determines whether teams, marriages, families, and friendships stay strong or quietly fall apart: how we see each other.
Most relationships don’t break because someone did something terrible. They break because of misperceptions, unfair assumptions, and the slow erosion of unity. When we magnify each other’s flaws, assign motives that aren’t there, or expect others to live without the imperfections we allow in ourselves, everything becomes fragile.
In this episode, I dig into:
- Why unity is built on accepting others’ flaws rather than collecting them
- How pettiness destroys marriages, teams, and even nations
- The difference between judging someone’s actions and judging their motives
- Why magnanimity — generosity of spirit — is the foundation of strong relationships
- The importance of each person understanding and embracing their role
- How gratitude and latitude protect relationships from unnecessary conflict
If you want to strengthen the relationships that matter most — at work or at home — this episode will help you see people more clearly and support them more effectively.
