Friction

Friction is resistance; a force preventing motion.  It’s there when it’s just harder to get something moving.  There’s lots of science and math around it; there’s even a coefficient of friction for use in equations. 

We can also “feel” friction.  It’s there in social media, or when trying to get a loan from the bank, and it can be in our personal relationships.  I’m not sure there’s a coefficient for that.

Friction, though, is like conflict:  there’s the bad type, and also there’s the good. 

Good friction in risk management means it will be harder for bad things to happen.
