SUMMARY
Win/Win is not a personality technique. It’s a
total paradigm of human interaction. It comes
from a character of integrity, maturity, and the
Abundance Mentality. It grows out of high-trust
relationships. It is embodied in agreements that
effectively clarify and manage expectations as
well as accomplishment. It thrives in supportive
systems.

Win/Win
Win/Win seeks mutual benefits in all human interactions.
Win/Win means that agreements or solutions are
mutually beneficial.
Win/Win is the belief that it’s not your way or my way; it’s
a better way, a higher way.
5. By Kimberly Barnes
Win/Lose
Win/Lose states If I win
you lose.
In Leadership style,
Win/Lose is a
authoritarian approach.
Win/Lose people are
prone to use position,
power, credentials,
possessions, or
personality to get their
way.
6. By Kimberly Barnes
Lose/Win
Lose/Win stands for no
demands, no expectations, no
vision.
People who think Lose/Win are
usually quick to please or
appease.
They seek strength from
popularity or acceptance.
Lose/Win people have little
courage to express their own
feelings and convictions and
are easily intimidated by the
ego strength of others.
7. By Kimberly Barnes
Lose/Lose
When two Win/Lose determine, stubborn, ego-invested individuals
interact-the result will be Lose/Lose.
Both will Lose. Both will become vindictive and want to “get back” or
“get even,” blind to the fact that murder is suicide, that revenge is a
two-edged sword.
Lose/Lose is the philosophy of the highly dependent person without
inner direction who is miserable and thinks everyone else should be,
too.
8. By Kimberly Barnes
Win
People with the Win
mentality don’t
necessarily want
someone else to lose.
That’s irrelevant.
What matters is that they
get what they want.
Win mentality thinks in
terms of securing his own
ends-and leaving it to
others to secure theirs.
9. By Kimberly Barnes
Win/Win or No Deal
No Deal basically means that if we can’t
find a solution that would benefit us both,
we agree to disagree agreeably-No Deal.
No expectations have been created, no
performance contracts established.

Five Dimensions of Win/Win
Character
Relationships
Agreements
Structure and
Systems
Process
11. By Kimberly Barnes
Three Parts of Character
Integrity – Making and keeping meaningful
promises and commitments.
Maturity – The balance between courage
and consideration.
Abundance Mentality – The paradigm that
there is plenty out there for everyone.
12. By Kimberly Barnes
Relationships
The trust, the
emotional bank
account, is the
essence of Win/Win
without trust, we lack
the credibility for
open, mutual leaning
and communication
and real creativity.
13. By Kimberly Barnes
Agreements
From relationships flow the agreements that give
definition and direction to Win/Win. They are
sometimes called performance agreements or
partnership agreements.
14. By Kimberly Barnes
Structure and Systems
Win/Win can only survive in an
organization when the systems support it.
So often the problem is in the system, not
in the people. If you put good people in
bad systems, you get bad results.
15. By Kimberly Barnes
Processes
See the problem from the other point of view.
Identify the key issues and concerns involved.
Determine what results would constitute a fully
acceptable solution.
Identify possible new options to achieve those results.
