- Don’t take positions; discuss interests
Adopt and go
- Understand how you do it and how they do it
- Don’t waste time arguing about whose way is the best way
- Pick a way that will be least disruptive… and go!
Respect each other and the process
- Realize that there are different “realities” and respect the differences in perspective
- Focus on the problem, not the person
- Respect the fact that this opportunity is greater than any of our individual needs ...
