THE POWER OF AGREEMENT

With less focus on the purely psychological
***** aspects of reaching agreement than "Getting to
Yes" Levine's becomes a much more pragmatic
approach."*

Perdido, Leadership With a Conscience
review of "The Book of Agreement"

Are you...

> beginning a new job...a new personal or work relationship?
> unsure of what you're supposed to do in your new job?
> unsure of what's in the way of higher productivity ?
> wanting more success and more satisfying relationships?
> tired of your mind "chattering" about things that happened in the past ?
> stuck in a relationship you can't manage effectively ?

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ACTION ?

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
> support us emotionally
> sustain our sense of well-being
> helps us accomplish personal and joint goals
> Relationships at work that are stress and conflict free
> with our bosses
> with co-workers and teammates
> with clients, customers and suppliers
> Relationships with our children that
> contribute to their growth and development
> increase the love in our family
> minimize the risk of them 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!

Learning about "The Power of Agreement" will help you 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 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 "The Power of Agreement" 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 for 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: 1.) paying professionals; 2.) lost productivity; 3.) opportunity cost; 4.) cost of replacing employees; 5.) loss of the benefits of continuing relationships; and 6.) 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 conflict. The agreements they think resolve their conflicts don't !
You can stop the staggering loss of resources that comes from unresolved conflict (even in "functional" relationships) by learning how to empower desired results, and prevent, and mange conflict. You can learn how to "normalize" the conflict that will take place. You can learn to master "The Power of Agreement."
