Communication
- Are you happy?
We
have all heard about the win/win scenario in negotiating. But what does it
really mean?
Win/win
means that all parties are happy at the end of the negotiation. No one feels
like the other got the better deal. It is important to reach a happy resolution
for all parties so that there can be future negotiations.
If
someone feels that they "lost" a negotiation, they may never come
back to the table. Business could be lost and relationships destroyed.
People
communicate differently. If we become aware that we can change our style of
communication for our listener, we will be able to communicate better.
Extroverts
love to think and talk at the same time. That's the way they come to
conclusions.
Introverts
think and then talk. If you are an introvert, you may think an extrovert is
noisy and unfocused. On the other hand, extroverts may think introverts are
disinterested and not contributing.
Knowing
that other people think and work differently for you is the first step to understanding
and communicating better.
Story of Generosity: Finders and Keepers
A
wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a
stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise
woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious
stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.
The
traveler left, rejoicing his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough
to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to
return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," He said,
"I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you
can give me something even more precious: Give me what you have within you that
enabled you to give me the stone (Generosity)."
Generosity is the opposite of stinginess. It
stands for offering money, food, or any other lawful gaining out of one's free
will. It is in fact the worthiest nature. As a sign of the unprecedented virtue
of generosity is that you see every precious and appreciable thing is described
as generous.
