Three Ingredients For Success in Life and Business

(Part 2)

Remember what we said in part 1? It's simple. Get these three basic, core things right, and your organisation will become an incredibly efficient machine with all the parts working well together..

The Ability to Fight Clean

One of the most common problems in executive management can be the complete lack of skills in this area.

Some people see fighting as dirty, dangerous and unnecessary. Sometimes it is seen as corporate politics. Nothing could be further from the truth.

“The ability to fight clean” means the ability to table an issue with a co-worker at the first available opportunity and resolve it productively. There are only three outcomes that can come from conflict.

1. Successful resolution of the conflict
2. Management of the conflict
3. Avoidance of the conflict

Where there is only management of conflict, an organisation will operate at less than its potential. Where conflict is avoided, the organisation will perform nowhere near its full potential.

An ASVP Group Strategic Management program gives individuals clear rules and the skills to resolve conflict in a powerful and direct manner. 

After a "clean fight" both parties can walk away free of any residual resentment, and with their dignity in place.
