Good day to all!
I hope you’re all enjoying the weekend.
Today I’m sharing more nuggets from the book, Crucial Conversations.
Enjoy!

When you sense that you and others are working at cross-purposes, here’s what you can do.
First, step out of the content of the conflict. Stop focusing on who thinks what.
Then create a mutual purpose.

Commit to seek a Mutual Purpose.
Make a unilateral public commitment to stay in the conversation until you come up with something that serves everyone.

Recognize the purpose behind the strategy.
Ask people why they want what they’re pushing for.
Separate what they’re demanding from the purpose it serves.

Invent a Mutual Purpose.
If after clarifying everyone’s purposes you are still at odds, see if you can invent a higher or longer-term purpose that is more motivating than the ones that keep you in conflict.

Brainstorm new strategies.
With a clear Mutual Purpose, you can join forces in searching for a solution that serves everyone.
