Win/Win. A frame of mind and heart constantly seeking mutual benefit in business and personal transactions. All parties feel good about decisions and commit to plans required. Win/Lose. Authoritarian approach involving the use of position, power, credentials, possessions or personality. Also involves an extrinsic approach by comparisons to others or external expectation. Lose/Win. This is capitulation, allowing the other party to do whatever they like. It can also be permissiveness or indulgence. Some people alternate between Win/Lose and Lose/Win constantly. Lose/Lose. Comes about through being so centered on an enemy that you become willing to hurt your own interests if it will mean the other person will also lose.

Win. Thinking in terms of our own interests alone, we leave the other person to look out for themselves and give no thought to their position.
Win/Win or No Deal. Means that if a mutually beneficial deal cannot be structured, then there is general agreement to disagree agreeably! In other words, if you find you are both wanting to head in different directions, it is better not to try and set up a deal between both parties. Provides tremendous emotional freedom.

Everyone has a natural tendency to rush in and try to give advice or try to fix things before taking the time to diagnose or try to understand why the other person feels the way they do. The trick, however, is to seek first to understand the other person, then to try and be understood yourself.
