Yes, you read that right. Not pearls of wisdom, but pearls of tension.
When working with others and in teams, tension is normal and inevitable. You can’t avoid it. But rather than ignore it, or stifle it, or abandon projects because of it, you should harness it. The article Prepare for Creative Tension or It May Cloud Your Vision encourages you to use creative tension to your advantage, much like a grain of sand is the tension in the oyster that produces a pearl.
What a fine and helpful way to think of, and make use of, tension!
