something about other firms...

something about us:
With Interest-centered management, leaders seek outcomes that

                + Satisfy their interests well and those of others acceptably well.
                + Produce as much value as possible through creative options for agreement.
                + Are better than what I can do on my own.
                + Meet all parties’ understandings of what is fair.
                + Culminate in commitments that are realistic, sufficient, and clear about what each party is to do.
                + Are based on a shared view of the facts.
                + Result from good communication.
                + Improve the working relationship among the parties.

Whether it is leadership, individual or joint decision making, conflict management, negotiation of agreements, dispute resolution, conflict management systems design, interdepartmental cooperation, or the sales and marketing of company products—organizations will improve their chances of success if they use processes in which we skillfully use the seven elements of joint decision making:

                + communication,
                + relationship,
                + interests,
                + options,
                + legitimacy,
                + alternatives, and
                + commitments.
