Tiger and Dragon Compatibility

Tiger and Dragon are strong in similar ways, which is the problem. Both are decisive, both are proud, and both are used to being the most assertive person in the room. Where they differ is scale: Tiger handles the immediate threat, Dragon handles the long arc. That could be a complete leadership team. It usually becomes a contest instead, because neither has any interest in being the deputy. The fights are rarely about the actual decision. They are about who got to announce it. In front of other people this gets ugly quickly, since both will defend a position they no longer believe rather than be seen losing. The practical solution is rotation. Name the domains: Tiger leads the things that need nerve, Dragon leads the things that need a horizon. Then defend those boundaries in public and negotiate them in private. Two people this capable do not need to agree on everything. They need an order of operations.
