Take all factors and options into consideration when making decisions

Looking at the balanced whole–the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives — you’ll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations. Stephen Covey

Balance consideration and courage to create win-win solutions
- Achieving that balance between courage and consideration—is the essence of real maturity and is fundamental to Win- Win. If you’re high on courage and low on consideration, how will you think? Win-Lose. You’ll be strong and ego- bound. You’ll have the courage of your convictions, but you won’t be very considerate of others. If you’re high on consideration and low on courage, you’ll think Lose-Win. You’ll be so considerate of others’ feelings that you won’t have the courage to express your own. High courage and consideration are both essential to Win-Win. It’s the balance of the two that is the mark of real maturity. If you have it, you can listen and you can empathically understand, but you can also courageously confront. Stephen Covey
- Courage, Think win-win
