It's practice for the moments that define how this chapter of your life unfolds.

What happens in this story4 scenarios
Two teams. One budget. Both convinced the work belongs to them. You're watching a territory dispute escalate from professional disagreement to personal vendetta — and it's about to take the project down with it.
They say they want ownership. But why? Status? Job security? Genuine expertise? You're peeling back the position to find the interest — because the solution lives underneath the claim.
Neither side will back down because neither trusts the other to be fair. You need objective criteria — a decision framework that both parties agree to before they know which way it cuts.
The lines are redrawn. The budget is split. But the resolution only sticks if both teams feel ownership of the outcome — not just compliance with a compromise they resent.
