The Obstacle

Different ideas
No two of us the same.

Thoughts
Perceptions
Ideas
Beliefs
Actions.

Different ways of
Seeing
Planning
Solving
Doing.

Different creates
Friction
Resistance
Confrontation
Conflict.

Their way
Our way.

We want to
Be right
Do it our way
Get credit
Be the best.

Is that what
Creates the best?

We are different
None of us the same.

We are stronger
Together
Better
Together.

Gestalt
The whole is greater
Than the sum
Of each part.

More than two
People
Ideas
Ways
Creates conflict.

Conflict will happen.

Conflict can
Build
Become understanding
Create curiosity
Opportunity.

Find the useful sliver
Of information
In someone else’s idea.

Build that into the whole.

Find the useful sliver
Of the process
In someone else’s way.

Upgrade the process.

Find the useful sliver
In someone else’s actions.

Build that into ours.

We do not need to
Adopt thoughts
Beliefs
Ideas
Processes
Actions
As a whole.

We can take slivers
From others
To upgrade ours.

Find the slivers
Use them.

• Feel the friction
• Make conflict useful
• Find the sliver
• Use it
