Think Win-Win

Pride gets no pleasure out of having
something, only out of having more of
it than the next man.

This
is the habit of
creating effective
interpersonal
leadership
This
habit about a
character-based
code for human
interaction and
collaboration.
Also known as the totem
pole syndrome
It is an attitude toward
life that says the pie of
success is only so big
and if you get a big piece
there is less for me
Jealous and envious
when something good
happens to a friend
Also
known as the
doormat syndrome
Sets
low expectations
and comprises
standards easily
Easily
giving in to peerpressure
If you go down, you bring
everyone else with you
Usually occurs when 2
Win-Lose people get
together
You dont care what
happens to you, you just
want the other person to
be miserable as well
it leads to a stubborn
impasse as they try to
beat each other at all
costs.
Believe
that everyone can win and plenty of
success to go around
a balancing act between courage and
consideration
You
want others to succeed as much as
yourself
This
is where, if a mutually beneficial
outcome cannot be reached, then you know
its okay to walk away with no hard feelings.
Integrity: sticking with
your true feelings,
values, and
commitments
Maturity: expressing
your ideas and feelings
with courage and
consideration for the
ideas and feelings of
others
Abundance Mentality:
believing there is
plenty for everyone
Win
the Private Victory First
Avoid
the Tumor Twins
Competing unhealthy when you
compete against yourself and ties into
your self-worth
Comparing unhealthy when you
compare yourself to others
Its
more than
about what others
want. We can
never reach a
mutually
acceptable
solution if we
dont know what
each other wants
to get out of it.
Nothing GREAT was ever achieved
without enthusiasm! The opportunities
over here are as big as all outdoors
and each hour of each day, the
taskwill grow easier, and more
satisfying for all of us.
