Synergize...

Two Harvard professors,Roger Fisher and William Ury, in their book "Getting to yes", outline a whole new approach to negotiation.

 
Most negotiation is positional bargaining and results at best in compromise.But when you get into synergistic communication,you leave position.You understand basic underlying needs and interests and find solutions to satisfy them both.

Instead of assuming two opposing positions - "I want that window open." "No,closed." "No,Open." - with occasional compromise (half open half the time) they saw the possibility of synergy.

"Why do you want it to be open?" .

"Well,I like the fresh air.""Why do you want it to be closed?"

"I don't like the draft?".

"What can we do that would give the fresh air without the draft?".

Now, two creative people who have respect for each other and who understand each other's needs might say "Let's open the window in the next room.Let's rearrange the furniture.Let's open the top part of the window.Let's turn on the air-conditioning." They seek new alternatives because they are not defending positions.

Whenever there's a difference, say,"Let's go for a synergistic win/win.Let's listen to each other.What is your need?"."Well, I am in just the mood for this kind of a movie.What would you like?" Maybe you can find a movie or some other activity that would satisfy both.And you get people thinking.And if you get the spirit of teamwork, you start to build a very powerful bond,an emotional bank account, and people are willing to subordinate their immediate wants for long term relationships.

but the one most responsive to change.

I have found a good and authentic site that reaches out to poor people in third world countries .  All the revenue of the site goes to the UN. It would be great if you can make their site as your homepage and help in feeding someone .

About the site :

The Hunger Site at the U.N.

This is a really neat website. All you do is click a button and somewhere
in the world some hungry person gets a meal to eat at no cost to you. The
food is paid for by corporate sponsors. All you do is go to the site and
click.
But, you're only allowed one click per day so spread the word to others.
 
Visit the site and pass the word.
