Curious Saturday: Why conscious leadership rejects win-lose thinking
So much of how we are taught to think — in business and in life — is framed as win or lose. But what if that mindset is quietly holding us back?
In his TED Talk, John Mackey challenges the assumption that success must come at someone else’s expense. He argues that win-lose thinking narrows our perspective, fuels unnecessary conflict, and limits what organizations can achieve.
By shifting toward win-win and win-win-win thinking, leaders can unlock more creativity, trust, and long-term value — for customers, employees, partners, and society.
It’s a reminder that the most sustainable outcomes do not come from beating others — they come from creating shared value.
