the 7 habits of highly effective people - part 12

Habit 4:  Think Win/Win
Covey talks about 6 paradigms of human interaction:
  1. Win/Win
  2. Win/Lose
  3. Lose/Win
  4. Lose/Lose
  5. Win
  6. Win/Win or No Deal
So which one is the best?  Yes, Win/Win (although it may not be appropriate in all cases). "Win/Win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions".  It is the hardest way but it is the courageous and considerate way.

There are so many sound concepts in this chapter; you have to read it to achieve the essence.  Read it.

I encourage comments or questions as reading for me stimulates the mind more than anything.
