in a manga about management, someone says 主張し合っても不味いだけ

Does this mean something like 'bring assertions together'? or come to an
agreement when you have two different assertions/ideas that might not
neccesarily fit together initially?

question
words
what does 主張し合う mean?
If the people **insist on each one's own right/opinion/idea** _and never
compromise_ , it just doesn't work (or everyone just doesn't feel good).

The sentence means: "To compromise is a wise decision." "We have to compromise
more or less in order to be happy/harmonious." or something like that.

Contrary to Seesawscene's answer, I think that the given sentence means only
"no matter how much you guys insist on your opinion, you can never get good
results".

Of course I understand it is natural that the speaker thought "to compromise
is a wise decision" or something like that when he said the phrase.

The phrase ... し合う, as in 愛し合う, 殺し合う, ののしり合う, denotes the **_reciprocal_**
nature of the action in question: "they love **_each other_** ", "they kill
**_one another_** ", "they hurl abuse at **_each other_** ".

In the case of 主張し合う, they **_each_** (vehemently) voice their own conflicting
opinions.

The phrase corresponds to " ** _s'entre_** -tuer", " ** _s'entr_** aider" in
French.
