Compromise has a negative connotation of losing or settling for less, but collaboration aims to find solutions that make both sides happy. Rather than compromising, people should work together through collaboration to find outcomes that satisfy everyone's needs and don't leave anyone feeling like they lost. Effective collaboration pivots and adjusts as needed to find solutions where no one feels they compromised and both sides are content.

1. There’s this old cliché that we need to compromise, to give away
something to not hurt the other person feelings.
But compromising has in itself a negative connotation. Seems like
you’re losing. You’re doing it, but for the sake of something (avoid a
fight/dispute, annoy/disappoint someone) but not really pleased of
the outcome or. A lessor minor.
Scratch the word out of your vocabulary and practice, and replace it
with collaboration instead.
Collaboration means working together, aiming to keep both sides
happy. It doesn't have to be A or B. It can well be A and B, or even
C. Pivot, adjust the needle as most of the times you can make both
side happy, where no one needs to feel like losing.
Don’t compromise
