Thriving as a Win-Win Commitment: Helping Employees and Organizations to Flourish

Abstract

The process of decision-making and problem solving is often ineffective because leaders and organizations fail to collaborate to pursue options that positively benefit all parties. This paper identifies five decision-making alternatives and describes their characteristics. It emphasizes the importance of the Win-Win decision philosophy advocated by Stephen R. Covey and identifies seven guidelines for implementing this approach to problem solving.
