Leader in Me Focus for January - Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Thinking win-win is the key to working well with others. It is the most effective way of thinking, especially in a family. Families that learn and practice win-win thinking are happier, experience less conflict, and are better able to meet the family challenges that arise.
Common Language: Cooperate, Mutual, Win-win
Steps:
1. I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want.
2. I make deposits in others' Emotional Bank Accounts
3. When conflicts arise, I look for 3rd alternatives.
4. I cooperate instead of compete.
"Think Win-Win is a frame of mind and heart that seeks mutual benefit and mutual respect. It's not thinking selfishly (win-lose) or like a victim (lose-win). It's thinking in terms of "we, not me."
