The River Way, Every Day!

Updates for the week of Dec 5, 2022

Think Win-Win

Habit 4: Think Win-Win, people work effectively and efficiently with others to achieve optimal results. Competitive and selfish behaviors  produce win-lose or even lose-lose outcomes. A win-win mentality is a balancing act between courage and consideration that ensures true collaboration taking place in all conflicts.
