Strategy 5 - Separate What Matters from What Gets in the Way
If you have not already posted a thought about strategy 5, you can add to the comments on this post.
• When we are in conflict, there is always at least one thing we share with our opponents: we both know we are right! I never thought of it this way, but I guess it is true when arguing both people do think that they are right and the other is wrong. I guess I should start taking into consideration the thoughts of other people. The person I am arguing against thinks he or she is right. Maybe by talking out our differences we can see where the other person may also be right as well.

ReplyDeleteSo true. This offers a new way to begin thinking about conflicts both large and small.
