Step-6
Understanding Win/Win

Fourth habit is Win/Win. Imagine you’re at a championship football game where only one team can win, and the other loses. But in life, not everything has to be like this. Most situations can actually benefit everyone involved if you follow a certain way of thinking. This is where the fourth habit comes in: making sure everyone has a positive outcome.

In life, we often have different ways of thinking that shape how we interact with others. Some people believe in a win-lose way, where they see every interaction as a competition. They think that for them to win, others have to lose. This can lead to problems, like not trusting each other and not working well together.

For example, in a sales team where only the top seller gets a bonus, people might hide leads or even harm each other’s work because they only care about themselves. This leads to fewer sales for everyone.

But there’s another way of thinking called win-win. It’s all about collaboration instead of competition. It looks for outcomes that benefit everyone. For the sales team, it could mean giving bonuses to all team members when they meet their individual sales goals. This way, one person’s success benefits everyone. It encourages teamwork and leads to more sales and happier team members.

To always look for win-win solutions, you should adopt an abundance mentality. This means believing there’s plenty of success, happiness, and opportunities for everyone. When you see this, it’s easier to work together for the good of all. With a win-win mentality, everyone’s victories become even bigger.

چوتھی عادت ہے جیت / جیت کا فارمولہ۔فٹبال چیمپئن شپ کے میچ میں صرف ایک ٹیم جیت سکتی ہے ، جس کے لئے باقی ساری ٹیموں کا ہارنا ضروری ہوتا ہے۔ لیکن زندگی میں فٹبال کا، باقی سب کے ہارنے کا یہ فارمولہ اپلائی نہیں ہوتا ۔ زندگی میں جیت کیلئے ضروری ہے کہ سب کی جیت ہو۔ اور یہی چوتھی کامیابی کی عادت ہے،
زندگی میں، کچھ لوگ جیت-ہار کے طریقہ سے ہی سوچتے ہیں، جو ہر معاملہ کو ایک مقابلہ کے طور پر دیکھتے ہیں۔ ان کا خیال ہے کہ ان کی جیت کے لئے باقیوں کا ہارنا ضروری ہے۔ یہ سوچ بہت سارے مسائل کا باعث بنتی ہے، جس کا نتیجہ ایک دوسرے پر بھروسا نہ کرنا اور خودغرضی کا عام ہونا ہے۔
مثال کے طور پر، ایک سیلز ٹیم میں جہاں صرف سب سے زیادہ فروخت کرنے والے کو انعام دیا جاتا ہے، تو ایسی ٹیم میں ایک کو جیتنے کیلئے باقیوں کا ہارنا ضروری ہو جاتاہے کیونکہ جیتنا تو صرف ایک نے ہی ہے۔ اس لئے لوگ اپنی سیلز چھپائیں گے، بلکہ ایک دوسرے کے کام کو نقصان پہنچائیں گے، کیونکہ ہر کسی کو صرف اپنی فکر ہوگی، کمپنی کا نقصان بھی یقینی ہے۔
لیکن اگر سیلز کا ایک ٹارگٹ دیا جاےَ اور کہا جاےَ کہ جو بھی یہ ٹارگٹ حاصل کرے گا اسکو بونس /انعام ملے گا۔ تو اب لوگ ایکدوسرے کی مدد کریں گے۔ ایکدوسرے کو سیلز لا کر دیں گے، کیونکہ اب کوئِی بھی جیت سکتا ہے ۔ سارے جیت سکتے ہیں۔ ایسے ماحول میں تعاون، مدد، ہمدردی بہت زیادہ بڑھ جاےَ گی، اور کمپنی کو اتنی زیادہ سیلز سے بہت زیادہ فائدہ ہوگا۔اور یہی جیت-جیت کا فارمولہ ہے، اس میں سارے سیلز مین کی، اور کمپنی کی سب کی جیت ممکن ہے۔
