Leadership in relation with others

Content

Before you start with this learning playlist it is worth it to complete the Personal pathway to leadership Learning Playlist. Preceding playlist mostly focuses on the “I” in becoming an effective leader - your personal pathway to become a leader. 
﻿
Before making an effective influence, in a team, in a group of people, or in your City of Learning you need to have a foundation of independence, for example knowing what your paradigms and principles are, being aware of the road you want to travel and what your personal destination is. The personal pathway is something that you can keep developing and work on through your whole life. It will grow your self-esteem, self knowledge and give you a foundation to cope and manage when more difficult times arise. The place where to start building any relationship is within yourself. 
﻿
Ok, then now the step into the Relationship with others Leadership Pathway.  
﻿
What can you expect in this Learning Playlist? The content is based on habit 4, 5, 6, and 7 of Stephen Covey’s book ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ and has been specifically created for young people who are joining the Cities of Learning Network and taking part in the Youth Pathways to Leadership course Volume 2.
﻿
Do you want to develop further in recognising what is needed for you to be a team player or role model for your peers? Understanding what you personally need to do to achieve what you want for your community, then let's start. We can do it! We can cooperate! We can combine our talents and create something greater together!
﻿
Activities in this learning playlist are
Relational Deposit: which is all about investing in your relationships
Think Win-Win - A win-Win situation or result is one that is good for anybody involved.
Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood - This is when you empathically understand someone else before seeking to be understood in human relationships.
Synergy - a Synergy is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Renewal - to become new or refreshed and strong again
﻿
These above competences are related to learning to live and work together and it supports awareness of different needs of people. You can work on the ability and willingness to interact, communicate and collaborate with others in a constructive way. A lot of emerging jobs which are expected to become available in the nearby future will require having experience with these skills.

All winners means that everybody can win. It is not about YOU and ME, win-win is about BOTH OF US. It is about finding a solution where everybody will benefit. It is about EVERYONE is happy. 
﻿
It’s different from compromise, because in a compromise everybody gives a little. In win - win you take two ideas from both people and then find the THIRD ALTERNATIVE which will be better than each idea on its own.
﻿
Covey developed what he called “6 Paradigms for Human Interaction”. They are based on something called Games Theory:
Win/Win		
Win/Lose
Lose/Win		
Lose/Lose
Win			
No Deal
﻿
Win/Win: A principle that constantly seeks for mutual benefit in all interactions. With a Win/Win solution all parties feel good about the decision and feel committed to the action plan.
﻿
Win/Lose: This is an authoritarian approach where I must get my way, no matter what the cost to you.
﻿
Lose/Win: This is the kind of leader who seeks strength from popularity. People who are so desperate want to “be friends” with other people that they set no standards; have no vision; make no demands. On the other hand it also can be a situation where you want to work on relationship building instead of winning and for example take less in consideration what you need yourself at that moment.
﻿
Lose/Lose: Often comes about when 2 
﻿
Win/Lose people interact and they become so obsessed with the other person “losing” that they don’t care if they lose as well.
﻿
Win: Many people have this principle. They don’t care if the other people win or lose, they are not out for revenge or victory as long as they get what they want, they leave it to others to get what they want as well.
﻿
No Deal: This situation is what Covey calls an even higher expression of Win/Win. It basically means that if we can’t find a Win/Win there is no deal. It’s a very liberating and open principle.
﻿
Some indicators that you are a All Winners person:
I can solve a problem when an issue comes up with another person and let both of us have a good feeling afterwards.
I think about what other people want and not only about what I need or want.
I am kind to others and try to think of ways so that everybody is happy.
﻿
When you want to learn more about why you are acting like you do, perhaps this test to define your motivations is worth doing.

Keep it going
