settle for less fighting

Fight is a powerful word that invokes visions of violence. There are times when fighting is the correct action. However, fighting creates a dynamic of right/wrong, win/lose, or live/die.

Settle for less fighting to focus on listening, brainstorming, and collaborating. This approach opens the door to understanding and finding paths forward that benefit everyone involved.

Next time you face a conflict, ask yourself: Can I settle for less fighting, so we all win?
