Win-Win Wins
What’s the win-win?
As I prepare a “don’t-do-anything-special” special cake for my Mum’s birthday, I am smiling at how my ideas can meet her wishes, as well as the opposite “we-must-do-something-special” expectations from the rest of the family.
It’s not only birthday cakes that suffer from this either-or thinking. We are accustomed to the binary view telling us that if I win, then you lose, and vice versa.
With care and intention, we can look for the win-win, and we can find a way forward that works for all.
Whatever you have in front of you today at work and in life, I’m curious, how might you make it a win-win?
