| Your post is a bit vague so I can't tell where the issue really is. However, I disagree with the posts suggesting all the ways to force change. Instead I'd suggest that you consider whether the things he's doing aren't "wrong" but just aren't your preference. For instance, perhaps he works 11-5 and you disagree and want him to do 9-5. He isn't wrong. You say he doesn't want to use Discord. That's not wrong, it's your preference. Lots of companies use other tools. Perhaps you could learn to use whatever it is that he uses. You say you want a common way to manage your priorities. Is that necessary? Why not just agree on the current goal and trust him to take care of his part? After all you did say that he's at least relatively successful. And you did decide that you wanted to partner with him so you do see value in the company and at least some in him too. Furthermore, it might even be great if you were the one to provide all the structure needed for the rest of the company that would give him the flexibility to do what he's good at. It'd be a great strength if you were able to work together separately. Forcing change is difficult. Since you are partners even more so. There's only so much change capital you can expend so it's better to use it on the truly important things. |
