“The most constructive solutions are those which take into consideration the views of all persons involved and are acceptable to all. Such outcomes are the result of negotiation strategies where the needs of both sides are considered important and an attempt is made to meet all needs. These solutions are appropriately called Win-Win because there are no losers. While often difficult to arrive at, the process leading to such solutions builds interpersonal relationships, increases motivation and improves commitment. Win-Win solutions are the most desirable outcomes of conflict resolution.” NeedsPersonsMadeImportantMotivationWinningProcessDifficultSidesResultsViewsAcceptanceInvolvedConflictSolutionsCommitmentIncreaseStrategyOutcomesConsiderationResolutionLoserAcceptableBoth SidesNegotiationDesirableConstructiveConflict ResolutionProblems And SolutionsSolution To A ProblemWin WinInterpersonalInterpersonal Relationship Author:Gabor Peter
