Today, the 3rd day of this conference, I received a text from the organization I am part of, stating, that they were not happy on where Phi Theta Kappa was going. After this text, I became very defensive and frustrated.
During this conference, I learned about a concept known as Win/Win. Taking this concept in hand, in time I realized that why should I worry about this? If our team members are motivated to improve our organization, than there is no rightful reason to say anything against it.
I came to this conference with two goals, increasing knowledge in both organizational psychology and marketing. However, what I did not expect was to have a complete alteration of my leadership style. After, attending today’s seminars, I realized that each conflict of ideas that teams have can be solved by creating a plan where both parties get what they want.
Sentiments of Life: (04.09.2011)
A Win/Win situation is like a tug of war between two teams. Rather than tug at the rope, both teams drop the rope and state we both win. How did they both win?
Neither team fell on the ground; thus neither team lost. Both teams were standing at the end of the game thus both teams won.
This situation is a defacto of life. Winning and losing are solutions in itself, but when everyone wins, it is not only a solution it is catalyst for growth.
