Winning

At a recent Men in Balance program, we talked about winning. We asked, what does winning really mean? How do you define winning?

Sometimes we insist on winning at all costs--an argument, a negotiation, a sports game.

If you win an argument with a friend (or wife) and damage the relationship, what have you really gained?

A balanced approach would redefine winning to take into account the cost of winning. As you think about decisions at work or at home, consider factoring in the impact on relationships when we insist on having our way at the expense of others.
