Notas do Editor

  1. When individuals come together each possesses their own “pool of meaning”, to develop understanding and agreement information from each separate pool must fill the Shared Pool of Meaning.
  2. As each contributor is exposed to more accurate and relevant information better choices are made. Since the information is shared the participants are committed to the final decision. The time spent in building the shred pool of energy is well spent as it leads to faster, more committed action.
  3. Start high risk discussions with the “right motives”
  4. As you consider what you want, notice when you start talking yourself into a Sucker’s Choice. Watch to see if you feel you must choose between peace and honesty, between winning and losing, and so on. Break free of the Sucker Choice by finding the elusive “and” Clarify what you don’t want and add it to what you do want (the elusive “and”) to find healthy opinions that bring you to dialogue
  5. Dual Processing, (watch for both content and Conditions)
  6. Pass out questionnaire
  7. Calculate your stress style
  8. When others move to silence or argumentative, step out of the conversation and “Make It Safe”.
  9. Mutual Purpose. Do others believe you care about their goals in this conversation? Do they trust your motives? Mutual Respect. Do others believe that you respect them?
  10. When you are at cross purposes, use four skills to get back to Mutual Purpose:
  11. When you have a tough message to share, or when you are so convinced of your own rightness that you may push too hard, remember to STATE your path.Share your facts.Start with the least controversial, most persuasive elements from your Path to ActionTell your story. Explain what you’re beginning to conclude.Ask for others’ path. Encourage others to share both their facts an their stories.Talk tentatively. State your story as a story – don’t disguise it as a fact.Encourage testing. Make it safe for others to express differing or even opposing views.
  12. To encourage the free flow of meaning and help others leave silence or arguments behind, explore their Paths to Action. Start with an attitude of curiosity and patience. This helps restore balance and security.Ask. Start by simply expressing interest in the other person’s views.Mirror. Increase balance by respectfully acknowledging the emotions people seem to be feeling.Paraphase. As others begin to share part of their story, restate what you’ve heard to show you understand and that it is okay for them to share their thoughts.Prime. If others continue to holding back, prime. Make your best guess at what they may be thinking and feeling.Agree. Agree when you doBuild. If others leave something out agree to the portion shared then build upon that agreementCompare. When you differ significantly don’t suggest that others are wrong. Compare the two views.
  13. When dealing with difficult people you can turn your successes into great decisions and united action by avoiding the two traps of violated expectations and inaction.Decide How to Decide. Command – Decisions are made without involving anyone else. Consult – Input is gathered from the group and then a smaller group decides. Vote – An agreed upon percentage swings the decision. Consensus – Everyone comes to an unamimousagreeement.Finish Clearly, decide who does what by when. Make the deliverables crystal clear, set follow-up time. Record commitments and follow-up. Hold people accountable.
  14. Let’s discuss some of the situations you have dealt with in light of the processes we have discussed.
