Lessons from the ExerciseLessons from the Exercise
 The central lesson of this game is that you can often
profit more through cooperation than conflict
 When you negotiate, you should not try to beat
anyone else.
 When negotiating, if you are thinking about whether
your final outcomes are better than the other
party’s, you don’t do as well as you could.
 In many bargaining situations, when you bargain
well you and everyone else involved will obtain very
good outcomes.
 Ask for others’ intentions- people like to think of
themselves as consistent.
Collaboration
“... the process of shared creation: two or
more individuals with complementary skills
interacting to create a shared understanding
that none had previously possessed, or
could have come to on their own ... it’s the
creation of value.”
—Michael Schrage
What is your greatest challenge to
collaboration?
What does it take to truly collaborate?

What Is Leadership?
 Leadership is a source of influence

by Max Weber
 Leadership appears to be the art of getting others
to want to do something that you are convinced
should be done

by Vance Packard

change

Leadership Without Words

18
What are the Soldiers Thinking About?

19
How is Patton a Leader?

20
Video II: Mahatma Gandhi

 Leadership not personality-bound. Question is “will you
be?”
 Leadership involves risks (assume deeper responsibility
for people)
 Leadership involves simultaneous attention to big ideas
- understand past and present, create vision for the
future, develop a path from past to future
 Leadership involves small acts - listening, humility,
confidence, trust, and influence
 Leadership may differ depending on cultures and
environments
 The bottom line: “Do you really care?”

determine the ability of firms in an industry to
earn above normal returns:

 threat of substitutes
 bargaining power of buyers
 bargaining power of suppliers
 rivalry among existing competitors

Understand Yourself:
Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI)
 Background
 Developed to measure individuals’ styles in
absence or presence of conflict
 Based on the Relationship Awareness
Theory
 Allows individuals to identify their strength
deployment patterns when things are going
well and when things are in conflict
67
Scoring the SDI ---1
 Complete the SDI survey
 Verify that the three numbers in Column 1,2,
and 3 on page 1 equal 100. Columns 4,5,and
6 on page 2 equal 100
 Transfer these number to lower right hand
corner boxes on page 5.
68
Scoring SDI ---2
 For each number, divide by 10.
 Use a ruler to help locate the point on the blue
scale where your column 1 number falls. Draw
a straight line perpendicular to the scale.
Repeat for red and green scales.
 The three lines shown intersect at the same
point. If not, check additions and drawing
69
Scoring SDI---3
 Make a heavy dot at the intersection of the three
lines and erase the lines.
 Repeat for the scores in columns 4, 5, and 6.
 Connect the two dots. Draw a line and add an
arrow at the end of the line where the scores for
4, 5, and 6 are pointed
 If you finish early, read the rest of the survey

opposition, and therefore behavior changes as a conflict
escalates

 Blues press for harmony or deny the seriousness of
the problem
 Reds challenge the opposition and present their
solution forcefully
 Greens become cautions and rely on analysis to
provide a solution
77
How We Deal with Conflict from
Strength Deployment Theory
 If conflict is not resolved, people try different angles -
 Blues preserve whatever harmony can be
salvaged
 Reds accept that a fight is required and
prepare for it
 Greens retreat to prevent further intrusion and
chaos

雁的啟示
Lessons from Geese
95
雁的啟示 - Lessons from Geese
 當每隻雁展翅高飛 , 也為後邊的隊友提供了“向上之風” ,“V” 字隊形 , 為雁
群增加了 71% 的飛行范圍 :
As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the birds that follow.
By flying in a V formation, the whole flock adds 71% extra flying range.
啟示啟示 - Lesson:
 分享團隊默契 , 能互相幫助 , 更輕鬆地到達目的地 .. 因為他們的旅程建立
在相互信任的基礎上 .
People who share a sense of community can help each other get where
they are going more easily, because they are traveling on the trust of
one another.
96
雁的啟示 - Lessons from Geese
 當某隻雁偏離隊伍時 , 它會立即發現單獨飛行的辛勞和阻力 . 它會立即
飛回隊伍 , 善用同伴的“向上之風” .
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and
resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back to take advantage
of the lifting power of the birds in front.
啟示 - Lesson :
 若我們與雁一般 , 我們就會緊跟大隊伍 , 樂於接受他人的協助 , 并幫助
別人 .
If we have as much sense as geese, we stay in formation with those
headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and
give our help to others.
97
 飛在隊伍的雁會發出“呱呱”叫聲 , 鼓勵前導的雁保持速度 .
The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to
keep with their speed.
啟示 - Lesson :
 我們必須確定發出的聲音是鼓勵 . 在團隊中 , 有鼓勵表現就會更好 .
最完美的自我表現 , 通常來自正面的鼓勵 .
We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where
there is encouragement, production is much greater. Individual
empowerment results from high quality honking.
雁的啟示 - Lessons from Geese
98
 當前導的大雁疲倦時 , 它會退到隊伍的後方 , 而另一隻雁則會飛到
前導位置彌補 .
When the lead goose tires, it drops back into formation and another
goose flies to the point position.
啟示 - Lesson :
 艱巨的任務需要輪流付出 . 我們要尊重、保護每個人獨特的技術、
才能、天分資源 .
It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks. We should respect and
protect each other’s unique arrangement of skills, capabilities,
talents, and resources.
雁的啟示 - Lessons from Geese
99
 當某隻雁生病時 , 會有兩隻雁飛出隊伍 , 跟在後邊 , 幫助并保護它 .
When a goose gets sick, two geese drop out of formation to follow it
down to help and protect it.
啟示 - Lesson :
 如果我們如雁一般 , 就會在困境中彼此支持 , 一如我們在順境中茁
壯 .
If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in
difficult times as well as when we are strong.
