WE TEND TO . . .

 Adopt a unilateral control
 mindset that seeks to avoid
 the threat, regain control,
 dodge the bullet, pass the
 blame, escape the
 embarrassment, run for
 cover . . . etc.

UNILATERAL CONTROL— A LOSING PROPOSITION




     © 2009, Russell Consulting, Inc. — Helping Leaders Build and Sustain Great Organizations!
BUT . . . WE DO HAVE A CHOICE!

 We can follow the Unilateral Control
 Mindset and let it lead us toward
 ineffective relationships and results
 Or . . . We can consciously engage an
 alternative approach: the Mutual
 Learning Mindset




     © 2009, Russell Consulting, Inc. — Helping Leaders Build and Sustain Great Organizations!
MUTUAL LEARNING MINDSET
 Based on an alternative set of core values
 Focuses on understanding and learning
 Assumes that we know and understand only
            h     k     d d        d l
 a part of the puzzle
 Honors other people’s perspective —
 especially when there is disagreement
 Is more likely to lead to effective
 relationships and positive results

MUTUAL LEARNING— A WINNING APPROACH
       LEARNING—




    © 2009, Russell Consulting, Inc. — Helping Leaders Build and Sustain Great Organizations!
GOVERNING VALUES FOR MUTUAL LEARNING
 Valid Information — All relevant information is shared so
 that everyone understands what they need to know
 Free and Informed Choice — People make their
 independent decisions based upon valid information, not
 on pressure
 Internal Commitment to Decisions — Individuals take
 responsibility for the decisions that they participate in
 Transparency — I di id l feel comfortable with open,
 T                Individuals f l      f t bl    ith
 honest, and direct communication with no “hidden
 agendas” or undiscussables
 Empathy — Individuals have compassion for others and
 differing viewpoints and a genuine interest in
 understanding another’s perspective.

FINAL THOUGHTS . . .
1. Each employee is responsible for his her own
   performance
2. This includes conducting a self-assessment of his
                              self-
   or her own performance
3. The coach conducts (independently) his or her
   own analysis of the employee’s performance
4. The coach asks the employee to considering the
   following:
   • What’s going well in your job?
   • What isn t going well?
          isn’t
   • Why is/isn’t it going well?
   • What changes/improvements could you make in your job to
     enhance your job performance?
   • How can I best help you achieve your performance goals?

6. The coach invites the employee

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask
                                night,      ask,
       "Where have I gone wrong?” Then a voice
                          wrong?”
       says to me . . .
