the moment you think there is a co-founders clash, that means you've been having that, building that clash up since 3 month ago, at least. founders need to have check point every month on their goals and vision. the common clash will always happen when there is two founder focused on long term goals, rather than aligning the long term goals with the short term ones, with a clear understanding of each one's of the founders focus, one focus on the short term and the other focus on the long ones, and check point will make sure no overlaps or deviation from the long term

A united team is stronger than a divided one.

Conflict serves as a catalyst rather than an issue. Actively listen. Recognise the viewpoints of each co-founder. Discover points of agreement. Determine common aims and values. Think of a bunch of solutions. Together, investigate imaginative options. Make a wise compromise. Look for solutions that will benefit all parties. Honour variations. Appreciate the importance of differing perspectives. A cohesive team outperforms a split one in strength.

Initiate open discussions where each founder can express their perspectives and motivations while encouraging active listening for mutual understanding. Identify common goals that unite the team and use frameworks like SWOT analysis to evaluate the pros and cons of each vision objectively. Create a structured environment for these discussions through regular strategy sessions, and consider establishing guiding principles or a decision-making charter to frame evaluations. Encourage a culture of experimentation by testing differing visions through pilot projects, and maintain open lines of communication throughout the process to foster transparency and trust among co-founders. #ahmedalaali11
