But unresolved differences can put a serious strain on relations at work and home.
Compromise helps manage conflict and promotes positive relationships.
But remember, for most people, compromise is not a natural talent, it's a skill sharpened by experience and effort. Before you confront a problematic issue, outline your concerns and counterarguments on paper. Decide what issues are most important to you and consider areas in which you can give a little. Wear the Other Shoes. It's important when compromising to listen to the opposing side first.
