What a better world this would be if we worked together harmoniously toward achieving our shared goals instead of engaging in petty disputes and turf battles. When you allow yourself to be dragged into personality conflicts, game playing, arguments about who gets the credit, and disagreements about trivial issues, they drain your energy and sour your attitude. Plus, you waste valuable time that could be spent on far more critical matters.
When you try to understand others’ motivations, you may discover that your opponents have far more in common with you than you think. When you cage your ego and look at the situation from the other person’s point of view, you can almost always find a way to work together for your mutual advantage.
