Today’s dot is a type of 3-D Venn — highlighting a shape that is not solely a circle, triangle, or square, but one that fits in all three spaces. It makes sense when you see it in action in this one-minute video here. (Leadership dots’ first vlog!)
This wooden block and the accompanying piece illustrate what happens when three distinct components create synergy. The piece doesn’t fill 100% of the different shapes, but it comes close, just as a shared solution may not be 100% what you wanted, but the combined resolution can meet the needs of all three parties.
We often dismiss the “other” [point of view, option, alternative plan] because we think it means giving up what we value. Or, we strain our resources by adding multiples instead of working toward a synergistic solution. The wooden block shows that you can hold on to your “shape” and embrace seemingly diverse ones, and end up with one solution that fits everyone.
Thanks, Mike!
