President's Corner: Win-Win Approach
I was very fortunate to study contract negotiations in college and the common theme was that the best outcomes are achieved by taking a win-win approach. However, if you've been in a leadership role, you know that it is not always possible. There are compromises, politics and, quite frankly, things that are out of your control.
I met with a good friend recently and he said, "I try to make 80% of the people happy 70% of the time." It's a classic! In my 4 years in this office, I've made plenty of mistakes, compromises and, I most certainly have made people mad. But my mindset and goal has always been to advance, protect and to do my absolute best for this organization.
I've had a blast but it can be stressful. I write this because it's a common stressor and sometimes it's good just knowing that everyone deals with this at some point.
In the words of Mr. Larry Anfin: "If you're not making
someone mad, you're not doing it right."
