Win/Win is a frame of mind & heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions…Win/Win is based on the paradigm that there is plenty for everybody, that one person's success is not achieved at the expense or exclusion of the success of others.
~ Stephen R. Covey
If we're honest about relationships, we'll admit that there are some people with whom we want to spend time, & others with whom we don't. What separates the good relationships we desire from the ones that don't do anything for us? Synergy. They add value to both parties, & that is rewarding.
The following People Principles answer the question, "Can we create a win-win relationship?" & will help anyone who practices them create relationships with synergy.
The Boomerang Principle: When we help others, we help ourselves
The Friendship Principle: All things being equal, people will work with people they like; all things not being equal, they still will.
The Partnership Principle: Working together increases the odds of winning together.
The Satisfaction Principle: In great relationships, the joy of being together is enough.
In the long run, lopsided relationships don't last. If one person is doing all the giving & the other all the receiving, the giver eventually becomes worn out & ironically the taker will become dissatisfied because they'll feel they're not receiving enough.
The only way to build a positive, long-lasting, synergistic relationship is to make sure everybody wins!
