Win-Win Attitude,
Hi Guys, a concept that is very important has not been formally taught in school or in college ie right attitude development which includes some core behavioral competencies and concepts which are useful for any sphere of life whether home, office, business workplace, or voluntary efforts.
One of the important concepts is known as a win-win approach for issue resolution and setting the way forward. We have been taught that to win in a competition or venture someone has to lose which is a very big misunderstanding which we kept with us since long, Hence a different approach known as a win-win concept which says try to work out an approach in your behavior that focus on win-win condition or situation for two or more than two stakeholders which can be achieved by little more focus and incite.
I come across a very simple example sited by one of management expert Dr. Kamal Jain Professor and head OB organization behavior IIM Indore. Two kids in a house are being fought to have a single orange in the home. Mother in the home very well knows that the elder one doesn’t like orange as fruit to eat. Still, both are arguing to have the same orange and nobody is ready to accept less than a complete orange for themselves and argument leads to a nasty situation at home. Father of two called both children on one on one basis and enquired that the elder one wants the peel offs of orange wants to be used for the facial purpose and the younger one wants to eat an orange. Later on, called both together and ask the younger one to peel off orange and provide peel of cover to elder and to keep orange without outer cover to eat.
The solution of the issue came when the father of the children apply to the win-win concept and introspect the issue and came across a solution that is acceptable to both children.
This is a very simple example of a very important concept of management which is need for the hour in the post-COVID situation and people need to focus on the same in every sphere of life from home to business workplace.
Normally the concept we have been taught is win lost concept. This is what happens in our home and workplace and we strive to win-loss bargain with others without knowing the fact that a win-win concept can be explored which is a school of thought we can apply in our daily life and gaining peace and success in our endeavors.
Hence small awareness of basic concepts leads to satisfactory and prosperous results from our day to day functioning. The requirement to focus on a win-win concept is more required in the post-COVID scenario where business can not be run on contract terms and some more efforts are required by each stakeholder to arrived at favorable results by the win-win solution.
