When confronting problems, we work to create win-wins. If you are going to create a win-win, you must not only know what you want to accomplish and what your objectives and desires are, but you must also know the other goals and objectives of the other person so you can incorporate these into the solution.

By having all this information, you can create a solution that is better than one that you would have thought of on your own. We tend to automatically latch on to the first solution we see, but there may be other possibilities that are only accessible by understanding the other person. Also, understanding the other person involves giving them generous interpretation. Viewing them as a selfish person whose only concern is with their own issues usually tends to be too stingy. We need to acknowledge that our co-workers are just as committed as we are to the success of our company and they want to delight our customers as much as we do.

Often times when we do not see eye-to-eye, it is this exact same commitment that is in the background pricing the intensity of the discussion. Said another way, we all care deeply about the customer and the success of this company. We need to understand that what people have to say is truly coming from their commitment.

We should be proud of what we have accomplished and what we do accomplish on a daily basis. But we should never be satisfied with that. There is always room for improvement. We should view the work that we do every day not simply as completing tasks, but as the laboratory for ongoing training and development of ourselves as individuals and as a team.
