6 Steps to Creating a Win Win Solution | Win as a Team
1) Recognize and acknowledge differences
This is, at times, difficult but extremely helpful to the
team. Issues, challenges, or conflicts
must be recognized and discussed. This
recognition helps the team come together to find a mutually agreed upon
solution or goal that will help each team member find greater commitment in
working together.
2) Gain common ground
How can you put the conflict in perspective with team
goals? Is everyone on the team committed
to the team goals? Are there issues that
could prevent the goals from being attained?
If so, these matters need to be brought forward.
3) Understand different opinions
Step in another’s shoes to gain their insight. This step is intended to gain insight, not
necessarily to gain agreement.
4) Work to overcome the issue
Differences in opinion are acceptable and even welcome! Remember, attack the issues and not the
person. As a team, what is the best
solution that can help the team achieve its goals? One should not have to compromise his or her
values in reaching a solution.
5) Develop a plan of action
Outline what each member of the team will do, and be extremely specific. This document will also serve as an accountability document.
Put the plan into action, follow up, and revise as needed in
order to optimize performance.
