What can
"wholehearted agreement" do for you and your organization?
 | Better outcomes |
| True teamwork |
| Satisfied customers |
| More efficient use of resources |
Have you ever wondered why there are so many
"fires" to put out?
When a problem is addressed with a compromise solution — a solution
that does not have the wholehearted agreement of everyone involved —
it may appear that the problem has been fully addressed, but often
it has not been solved completely.
The areas where the solution isn't truly a fit for the people
involved often require more attention, and have the potential of
producing new problems of their own.
With the perspective that we've developed, you wind up with
solutions that people are truly in agreement with. So you're free
to keep your focus on your goals.
This new perspective puts you and your organization much more in
control. Every solution that people truly agree with increases
stability and predictability.
Solutions that people truly agree with:
| Put people on the same page |
| Increase the flow of accurate information |
| Maximize performance |
| Eliminate conflicts |
Because solutions are truly a fit for the people
involved, it's much easier to create synergistic relationships among
teams, between different levels of the organization, and across
functions.
Solutions that people truly agree with:
| Align them with the goal |
| Meet their needs and expectations |
| Increase cooperation |
| Are inherently motivating |
This new perspective opens the door to solutions
that are much more cost-effective than compromise solutions.
For instance, solutions that people truly agree with solve problems
at their source — eliminating the cascade of problems that can occur
when people aren't in wholehearted agreement with a solution.
Similarly, solutions that are truly a fit for the people involved
are inherently efficient. What operation, objective or interaction
wouldn't benefit — and benefit significantly — from a solution
that is truly a fit for the people involved? |
