Online Home Business – Think Win/Win
Posted by admin on Jan 27, 2010
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been discussing the habits of Private Victory. Now we’ll move on and look at the habits of Public Victory.
Let’s get started on Habit 4 – Think Win/Win
Many problems faced by people in relationships are the result of a flawed paradigm.
Like the manager who wants cooperation among his staff, but implements a bonus plan that encourages competition. There is disharmony between the plan and the action.
Effective leaders internalize the habit of Win/Win. This is the best approach in a family situation, an Internet Income Opportunity, and Direct Sales Marketing.
Win/Win is only one of six paradigms of human interaction. Let’s take a closer look at the other five.
Win/Lose is simply “I win, you lose” mentality. This is an authoritarian approach often used by those in power. This is also the approach used in many sporting events.
Lose/Win is the reverse, “I lose, you win.” This is often the approach used by people who are quick to please, avoiding confrontation at all costs.
Lose/Lose is often the result of two Win/Lose people getting together. Both parties are trying so hard to be the winner that both parties end up losing.
Win is the mentality of someone who wants to win no matter what. They don’t necessarily want someone else to lose, it is merely important that they get what they want.
Win/Win or No Deal is the last of the five alternatives to Win/Win. If a solution cannot be found that will benefit both parties, they agreed that there will be no deal at all. This is an option that works best at the beginning of a potential relationship.
I’ve saved Win/Win for last so we can end today’s discussion where we want our relationships to reside. This approach is all about finding a solution that is mutually beneficial to everyone. The assumption is that there is plenty for everyone, so competition is not necessary. One person or group does not win at the expense of others.
There are times when Win/Win is not the objective.
Sporting events often use the Win/Lose approach because one clear winner is the desired outcome.
Win/Lose can be used to stimulate business; a friendly competition between local businesses for example.
Lose/Win is often used where one party is indifferent to the outcome; maybe it just isn’t worth the effort.
The best choice will depend on the reality of the situation.
Win/Win is the only real alternative in interdependent relationships, and Lose/Lose isn’t viable in any context.
