  • 🔮 A hidden treasure in the world of leadership books: The 3rd Alternative by Stephen M. R. Covey 🔮

    Everybody knows Stephen Covey, the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

    ⚡ 'The 3rd Alternative' introduces a breakthrough approach to conflict resolution and creative problem solving, transcending traditional solutions to conflict by forging a third option path
    ⚡ A third alternative moves beyond "your way or my way" to a higher and better way, one that allows both parties to emerge from debate or even heated conflict in a far better place than either had envisioned
    ⚡ With the third alternative, nobody has to give up anything, and everyone wins
    ⚡ Through critical examples and stories from his work as a consultant, Covey demonstrates how to create new and better results instead of escalating conflict and building solid relationships based on an attitude of winning together
