Features: What is the fatal ailment of a company? — Internal friction. Endless internal conflicts and discord will endlessly consume a company's resources and stifle its vitality. How to identify and eliminate internal friction will be the key to the survival or demise of the company. If we regard a company as a fortress, we can find that the strength of the fortress and its duration of existence largely depend not on the strength of the opponent, but on internal issues, which play a far more decisive role than external factors. This can also be seen as another manifestation of the philosophical principle that "internal factors are the fundamental reasons for the development of things." Internal friction, narrowly defined as "intra-group conflict," is a phenomenon that exists within human society. Internal friction not only consumes the resources and energy of countless companies but also drains too much energy from decision-makers and executors. If the decision-making layer of a company holds different opinions and refuses to compromise, it will only lead to a continuous decline in the company's operational efficiency and cause significant damage to its overall performance.
