Leaders Seek a Win:Win ….by Marsha D. Egan, CPCU, CPIW, ACC	No foolin'!

Leaders Seek a Win:Win

Leaders seek a win:win
They recognize that there are solutions that benefit both sides
They don't need to triumph at another's expense

"If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?"
--Vince Lombardi

10 SECOND REALITY CHECK
-Do you try to win at all costs?
-Do you make "enemies" in your quest to be right?
-Or do you look for win:win solutions?

"See, that's all you're thinking about, is winning.
You're confirming your sense of self- worth through outward reward instead of through inner appreciation."
--Barbara Hall

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
-There ARE solutions that work for both sides.
-IF you know what their needs and priorities are.
-Mutually appreciated solutions build allies.
-If you win at another's expense, you may create an adversary.
-Adversaries have long memories.

"If you can react the same way to winning and losing,
that is a big accomplishment. That quality is
important because it stays with you the rest of your life."
--Chris Evert

SO, WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
Go for the win:win!
What else!

Have a win-winning week! (No foolin'!)
