Sincerely, Stewart Stewart Levine MANAGING BY AGREEMENT: THE NEW MBA Are you tired of listening to mind chatter about things that happened yesterday,last month, last year, 10 years ago?
Are you stuck in a personal or professional relationship you can't seem to change or manage effectively ? Are you unsure how to get from where you are to where you want to be? Are you beginning a new personal or professional relationship that must work? Are you concerned because you're not sure exactly what you're supposed to do or the expectations others have of you in your new job? IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING !! AGREEMENTS FOR RESULTS + THE ART OF RESOLUTION = RESULTS BEYOND EXPECTATION What do most of us seek in our personal and professional lives ? PEACE OF MIND PRODUCTIVITY SATISFYING RELATIONSHIPS > Relationships with significant others that * sustain our sense of well * support us emotionally and * helps us accomplish personal and joint goals > Relationships at work that are stress and conflict free * with our bosses * with our co-workers and teammates * with our clients, customers and suppliers > Relationships with our children that * allow us to contribute to their growth and development * increase the amount of love in the family * minimize the risk of their getting in trouble > Relationships with "professionals" we hire that * manage expectations well * allow us to know what they will deliver * generate trust DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE AGREEMENTS FOR RESULTS IS A FUNDAMENTAL COMPETENCE FOR ALL ACCOMPLISHMENT. AGREEMENTS FOR RESULTS LEAD TO SATISFYING PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS! Managing by Agreement teaches you how to create covenantal relationships that are based on shared commitment to ideas, issues, values, goals and process. Covenant is the true source of real teamwork, and is a key ingredient for having both a "Family" at work and a "Family" at home. And family is the source of the richness and fulfillment we seek. With covenants in place results beyond expectation follow. When you start any new project or relationship you need the tools to put in place a road map that reminds you of what you want to accomplish, and how to get there. If you're deep in conflict MBA provides a Conversational Process to Resolution. Dealing with conflict effectively provides huge benefits. The ability to resolve conflict and form effective working relationships impacts the core of every personal relationship, and every organizational function - teaming, managing, partnering, customer servicing, producing, innovating, learning, collaborating and diversity. Ongoing CHANGE in our institutions and the environment we live in is generating significant conflict and dissonance in individuals and organizations; and great opportunity. Unfortunately, most people do not know how to prevent conflict and they are also conflict adverse. Most of us don't fully engage conflict until it becomes acute. By then the costs of conflict are staggering: paying professionals; lost productivity; opportunity cost; loss of the benefits of continuing relationships; and the emotional cost that eats at the fabric of every person and organization's spirit. When people do engage with conflict they often only deal with symptoms. They resist getting near the real source of dissonance. The agreements they think resolve their conflicts don't. To stop the staggering loss of resources that comes from unresolved conflict (even in "functional" relationships) we all need to learn how to empower desired results, and prevent, and mange conflict. We need to learn to "normalize" the conflict we know will take place. We need to learn how to "Manage by Agreement."
