The Win$-$Win Agreement is an effective tool for establishing the Win$-$Win foundation necessary for long$-$term effectiveness. It may be created between any two people who need to interact to accomplish desired results. In a Win$-$Win Agreement, the following five elements are made explicit:

$$ Desired results: What does your final outcome look like?

$$ Guidelines: What are the ground rules, the $$should$$ and $$should nots$?$

$$ Resources: What is it going to take? What resources are available?

$$ Accountability: Who will do what by when?

$$ Consequences: What happens when we are finished?

Think about an work place upcoming interaction where you might apply Win$-$Win Thinking and make notes on each of these elements.
