| | 1 | Meet to provide an overview of the concepts of interdependence including: |
| | 2 | * Summarize and review Independence (habits 1-3) vs. Interdependence (habits 4-6) |
| | 3 | * Focus on the interactions between team members: |
| | 4 | * Hidden Agendas (and how they damage trust and affect goals and priorities) |
| | 5 | * Defending/loyalty to the Absent (and how it builds trust) |
| | 6 | * Respecting everyone's role and the importance of avoiding words and ideas like |
| | 7 | "key", "subordinate", etc. |
| | 8 | * Emphasize that leadership is a '''service''' role. Leaders are there to |
| | 9 | facilitate and encourage, not to dictate. |
| | 10 | * Discuss how the habits of interdependence are all about building relationships |
| | 11 | and the trust that makes teams effective and successful. |

| | 17 | |
| | 18 | Follow up with a meeting: |
| | 19 | * Zero-sum vs. abundance mentality and how it affects relationships/trust (and it's relation to thinking win-win or no deal) |
| | 20 | * The difference between win-win and compromise |
| | 21 | * Review examples of cases where you have used win-win or no deal |
| | 22 | An example from my own experience: a neighbor was upset with another neighbor for having a car up on blocks for an extended period |
| | 23 | and asked what legal options they could use to force them to get rid of it. |
| | 24 | This is an example of zero-sum thinking: I get my way or he gets his way; someone wins, someone loses. |
| | 25 | Better approach: seek first to understand: why is the car up on blocks? No money to fix? Injured and can't fix, |
| | 26 | Consider a win-win or no deal approach: |
| | 27 | * You noticed their car has been out of commission, would they like help fixing it? |
| | 28 | * If car is dead, take up a collection from other neighbors who would like it gone...10 neighbors *$25 each = $250 for the car? |
| | 29 | Purchase and donate it to a charity (many will take a junk car) |
| | 30 | * Discuss the importance of making this a habit - it's something you have to force yourself to do until it becomes habit. |
| | 31 | * Ask students to think about cases where they've used zero-sum thinking and how they might have approached it as win-win |
