#leadershiptruth - Not every hill is worth conquering.

A problem for many successful people, in my observation, is knowing when to let go of a win. That high drive to achieve results gets translated into all aspects of work life (and even home life) and we can find ourselves winning the small battles but losing the war. Winning comes in a variety of forms and, if you’re naturally competitive, you may not even realize just how much you’re trying to win all the time. Here are some thoughts: let someone else own the idea. Let another department get the head count. Learn to compromise. The long-term effects of building collaborative partnerships and relationships will far outweigh the short-term win of the argument.
