Out of the 6 Think Win Win philosophies we’ve discussed…
Win / Win, Win / Lose, Lose / Win, Lose / Lose, Win, No Deal.
Which is the most effective?
It depends:
✔ If you win a football game, it means the other team lose.
✔ If you value a relationship and it’s a non-important issue. You might go for Lose / Win.
✔ In some situations you may have to just Win, without any concern for others.
The best choice depends on reality.
Your challenge is to read reality correctly and not to shoe-horn Win / Lose (or another philosophy) into every situation.
Most situations are part of an interdependent reality. And in these situations, Win / Win is really the only viable option.
In the long run. If it isn’t a win for both parties. Both parties ultimately lose.
Win / Win is the is the only real alternative in interdependent realities.
We hope you’ve enjoined our take on Stephen Covey’s Think Win Win habit.
