An ALL-IN, ALL-ONE Mindset

Adopt an ALL-IN, ALL-ONE Mindset

Conflict. It’s a fact of life. Sometimes life is dry without it, and sometimes it’s just too much spice, too much sauce! We advocate adopting an ‘ALL-IN, ALL-ONE’ mindset to help our clients to better understand the circumstances and the motivations of all stakeholders and to better strategize and plan on how to best address a conflict. An ‘ALL-IN, ALL-ONE’ mindset:

• Reminds everyone that they are on the same team, so it benefits Everyone when any ONE person succeeds while helping Everyone to work on a common purpose;
• Provides us with energy and hope, so that we can be fully committed (ALL-IN) and fully trusting of the team (ALL-ONE);
• Connects everyone to a higher purpose, a higher goal than one he/she could do on their own;
• Helps align everyone on a common purpose, and a common plan on how to achieve that purpose;
• Encourages respect and acceptance of people who are not-like-you;
• Empowers everyone at all levels to express their motivations and interests so that it can be factored in with the strategy and execution;
• Invites respectful debate when appropriate with no room for dissension when a decision has been made;
• Increases the likelihood of receiving a more diverse range of effective options and opportunities;
• Helps any individual member (and the team) to understand when she/he is not a good fit for the team and make plans accordingly and
• Emboldens all of us to keep reaching for stars, in a way that’s All IN, All-ONE.

You don’t have to be ALL-IN for all things, but do adopt an ‘ALL-ONE’ mindset – choose kindness and compassion and curiosity, especially for those who are not like you.
