Larry David and the Four-Step Compromise Plan

July 20, 2015 - PRLog -- When faced with opposing ideas, it often falls on the leader to find common ground. The key is to resolve the conflict in a way where everyone comes out a winner. Do both parties get everything they want? Probably not, but the art of compromise is that both parties get something they want. The challenge is getting there.

Compromise too often earns a negative connotation. Those who criticize compromise associate it with capitulating ideals or surrendering otherwise high standards. Instead of a possible win/win that could produce a better outcome, they view it as a lose/lose where both solutions are watered down for the lowest common denominator. One person who feels this way is Larry David.

When preparing for his Broadway debut, Larry spoke to NPR about being true to his vision.

"I don't think that my hand would've cooperated with my brain if my brain was telling my hand to write something it didn't really want to write. I remember when there was some interference from NBC with Seinfeld when we first started doing it, and fortunately I didn't have a family at the time, so it was very easy for me to say to them, ‘No, I'm quitting. I'm not going to do that. I don't want to do that and I can't do it.’ And for me, it wasn't a big deal to just pack up and go home."
