Dead Right

A broker gets into a heated argument with their client. The broker is certain they are right. In fact, the broker was right and they no longer have the client.

The saying, “Dead Right”, has many meanings but the one I like the most describes the scenario above. When we conflict with others, we should be aware of the costs involved.

Winning an argument may feel good in the moment, but what has the argument done to the relationship with the other person? Sometimes the answer doesn’t matter. Sometimes it is a matter of life and death.
