Habit #4
Think
Win-Win
Based on the work of Stephen Covey
Habit Four – Think Win-Win
The Habit of Interpersonal
Leadership
SIX PARADIGMS OF HUMAN INTERACTION

Win-Win Win-Lose Lose-Win

Lose-Lose Win Win-Win or No-Deal

THE TWO TWINS
 Competition can be very healthy. It drive you
to improve to reach and stretch but it
becomes dark when you use it as a way to
place yourself above others.
 Comparing your self with others. This is
cancerous and will only lead to bad news. It
will make us feel inferior to others. The only
thing you should compare yourself to is your
own potential.
 Think Win Win

 Win/Win is not a personality technique. It’s a

total paradigm of human interaction. It comes
from a character of integrity, maturity, and the
Abundance Mentality. It grows out of high-trust
relationships. It is embodied in agreements that
effectively clarify and manage expectations as
well as accomplishment. It thrives in supportive
systems.
 Win/Win

 Win/Win seeks mutual benefits in all human interactions.

 Win/Win means that agreements or solutions are mutually
beneficial.
 Win/Win is the belief that it’s not your way or my way; it’s a
better way, a higher way.
 Win/Lose
 Win/Lose states If I win you
lose.
 In Leadership style,
Win/Lose is a authoritarian
approach.
 Win/Lose people are prone
to use position, power,
credentials, possessions, or
personality to get their way.
Lose/Win
 Lose/Win stands for no demands,
no expectations, no vision.
 People who think Lose/Win are
usually quick to please or
appease.
 They seek strength from
popularity or acceptance.
 Lose/Win people have little
courage to express their own
feelings and convictions and are
easily intimidated by the ego
strength of others.
 Lose/Lose
 When two Win/Lose determine, stubborn, ego-invested
individuals interact-the result will be Lose/Lose.
 Both will Lose. Both will become vindictive and want to “get
back” or “get even,” blind to the fact that murder is suicide, that
revenge is a two-edged sword.
 Lose/Lose is the philosophy of the highly dependent person
without inner direction who is miserable and thinks everyone
else should be, too.
Win
 People with the Win
mentality don’t necessarily
want someone else to lose.
That’s irrelevant.
 What matters is that they
get what they want.
 Win mentality thinks in
terms of securing his own
ends-and leaving it to
others to secure theirs.

Made By: Abdul Haseeb

Win/Win or No Deal
 No Deal basically means that if we can’t
find a solution that would benefit us both,
we agree to disagree agreeably-No Deal.
 No expectations have been created, no
performance contracts established.
Habit #5
Based on the work of Stephen Covey

Seek first to
Understand, Then
to be
Understood
The Meaning
 You need to understand other first before you start
wanting other to understand you.
 Listen first, talk second.
 Understand other will have a big effect on how you
judge the person.
 Seeking First to Understand is only half of habit 5.
 Seeking to Be Understood is way more challenging
since it require courage.
 If you can understand other, then other will surely
understand you too.
Habit Five

Ignoring Making no effort to listen

Pretend Listening Making believe or giving the appearance you

are listening

Selective Listening Hearing only the parts of the conversation

that interest you.

Attentive Listening Paying attention and focusing on what the

speaker says, and comparing that to your
own experiences.

Empathic Listening Listening and responding with both the heart

and mind to understand the speaker’s words,
intent and feelings.
Habit #6
Based on the work of Stephen Covey

Synergize
 Synergizing or synergy is when you
achieve something with more than one
person or in a group to create a better
solution.
 Its not my way or your way it’s a better
way to solve or do something.
 TEAM WORK

 When you use synergy in your everyday life

you’re a team worker.You want to hear
other people’s opinions and what they have
to say .

 You don’t ignore them or say no to

whatever they may have to say.
 Two are better than one
