Reading The Compromise Trap has helped me move from a mindset focused on being “right” to one focused on being “effective.”  I have gained greater clarity of purpose through deep reflection on what - for me - constitutes a “worthy enough win” (serving patients), which has been invaluable in transcending the ego-based, often antagonistic interactions of the past. The book has helped me discover a more cooperative, constructive way forward in my relationships with peers and superiors.
