Applying the 3rd Alternative approach allows us to resolve disputes at personal, professional, and global levels. Covey discusses how Israelis and Palestinians, through empathy and dialogue, began to foster understanding despite deep-seated conflicts. He explains, “Synergy is not only the answer to human conflict; it is also the principle that underlies the creation of every truly new thing in the world.” By seeking solutions that honor all parties, we move beyond contention to create lasting peace and innovation.
— Stephen R. Covey, The 3rd Alternative
