Think Win

Losses-Losses will produce people who will take revenge, blind to the fact that the murder was suicide. Revenge is a double-edged sword, able to kill the enemy at once can kill themselves. There are people who become centered on the enemy, so totally obsessed with the behavior of his opponent to the point that becomes blind to everything but their desire for him to lose, hostile conflict, a philosophy which is very exhausting war. Lose-lose philosophy is also very dependent person, without direction from the inside, who suffer and think everyone else should suffer too. Instead, Win-Win is a frame of mind and heart continue to seek mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-Win means that agreements or solutions provide benefits beyond timbale. With a Win-Win solution, all parties are happy with the decision and felt bound by tindakaanya plan. Win-Win to see life as a cooperative arena, not competitive. Most people tend to think in dichotomies, strong or weak, hard or soft, manang or lose. However, such thinking is fundamentally flawed. This way of thinking based on power and position rather than on principle. Win-Win is based on the paradigm that there is a lot for everybody, that one person's success is not achieved at the expense or remove other people's success. Thus the word. Stephen R. Covey.
Think Win-Win is the habit of interpersonal leadership, which requires the exercise of the unique human gift, such as conscience, self-awareness, imagination and free will are framed with a noble morality and obedience to the Creator, Allah. Morals are the basis of the Win-Win and others built on the basis of morality is. Tenderness, kepemaafan, empathy with others, communicate with active listening, working hard and always bersrah to God is a noble character.
Empathic communication is communication with active listening, namely communication by responding to what was said, intended and the other person's feelings. Communication is the other person solve the problem alone. Empathic communication is a central circle of successful leadership. Once Ali ibn Abi Talib (in-law and nephew of the Prophet) asked the Messenger of his love to her and Fatimah (the Prophet's daughter). "O Messenger of Allah. why hast thou more than I love Fatima? "asked Ali. Prophet smiled and then answered "Yes Ali, I love Fatima's more than you, but I love you more than Fatima".

Determination Based On Competitive Position

Competitors by positioning the product as the best positioned than its competitors. Positioning is a communication strategy. Millions of products or brands on the market tumbled, then to enter the customer's mind is not easy. The only way is to find a gap to put the position of competitors. Thus we have to move a new idea or new product into the minds of different customers with a product or brand competitors.

Columbus says that "the Earth is round", but the general public say that "the Earth is flat". One of the many convincing arguments is the fact that the first time fishing in the sea watching the top of the mast was approaching. After seeing the top of the pole, then see the screen and finally saw the boat in full. This simple observation proves itself more effective than blind mathematical logic to solve the problem, including improving the competitive strategy. Nevertheless there are four things we need to consider in finding loopholes in the minds of customers.

First, to convey the message to the customer's mind should be relate and make sense. Three wheels make positioning by competing with its ad slogan "Strong Trusted". Customers catch associated with that ad and it makes sense that the cement mortar Three Wheels is best quality and sturdy wheels to make a Top Three Brand cement in Indonesia.

Second, find the idea that the difference with the competitors. Olympic positioned itself as a furniture with a complete variety, ranging from children sets, bedroom sets, office sets, kitchen sets and set as distinguishing living with competitors. Olympic is also a furniture company with leading innovators from the design, quality and price, so that the Top Brand Olympic Indonesian furniture.

Third, have evidence that supports that make it real and believable. Garda Oto Astra Buana's insurance with "Do not Worry Be Happy" has proved that they can be trusted. During floods and bombs, Auto Guard fleet has done standby at the scene. This indicates that the Garda Oto customer care to customers at the time of trouble, so customers are not concerned with the Garda Oto.

Fourth, communicating the product or brand differences we have compared to competitors. Philips lighting products with its tagline "Frankly Philips light on", later changed to "Sense and simplicity", to produce a good communication in the minds of consumers as a quality lamp that eventually became Top Brand lamps in Indonesia.

BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY

Strategy to compete on a very tight competition can lead to "a sea of blood" for companies that compete or fight it. This strategy disebur as Bloody or Red Ocean Strategy. W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne claim that Red Ocean Strategy is no longer effective to create growth and profits in the future. They both propose a new strategy called the Blue Ocean Strategy. The difference between Red Ocean Strategy and Blue Ocean Strategy, among others, in responding to the market, competition, demand, values and strategy.

Red Ocean Strategy considers that it is competitive to compete in existing market space, while the Blue Ocean Strategy, considers that the competitive market is to create a space that no opponent. A very broad market bagaiakan "blue ocean". Because the vast market, companies can choose at will the market. Red Ocean Strategy using the concept to be able to grow and profit by beating competitors in the competition. Blue Ocean Strategy using the concept by making the competition does not exist. Because the competition does not exist, then firms compete only with himself without another company. The company would have won the competition without opponents. Red Ocean Strategy exploit existing demand for all-out. Blue Ocean Strategy to create and capture new demand. Red Ocean Strategy to achieve excellence create value, then the Blue Ocean Strategy to achieve excellence without the need to create value. Red Ocean Strategy together with the overall system of corporate activities by choosing a strategy of differentiation or overall cost leadership strategy (low cost strategy), while the Blue Ocean Strategy together with the overall system of the company's activities in implementing the strategy of differentiation and overall cost leadership strategy in concert same. Blue Ocean Strategy myangkut two aspects. First, how to find and develop the blue ocean. To find and develop the blue ocean, by launching a comprehensive new industry like eBay doing auctions on the Internet and perform more general by extending the boundaries created by idustri red ocean. Second, how to exploit and protect blue ocean.

Competition is to kill and kill others (red ocean strategy) should be replaced with no rivalry or competition without having to kill (blue ocean strategy), thus it becomes a beautiful business. "Therefore, we set (a law) for the Children of Israel, that he who kills one, not because the man (kill) another person, or for mischief in the land, then as if he had killed all mankind; . And if any one saved a life, it is as if he saved the life of all mankind ... .. (Al-Maidah verse 32).

Business With The Benefits Fold

To benefit a lot done with folded tamper with income and expenses. Because the formula for profit is revenue minus costs. The first step is done to boost revenue by doing aggressive marketing. Income is the product of the price with the volume of sales. Various marketing strategies used to increase sales volume, ranging from cost leadership strategy as a whole until the differentiation strategy. Not enough with that added more focused strategy, whether the focus of the overall cost leadership and differentiation focus. Cost leadership strategy emphasize the overall price advantage over competitors and strategies highlight the benefits of product differentiation, personal, services, channels and image than the competition.
To reduce costs by making all-out efficiency in all lines. Sometimes even lines on the development of human resources, such as educational facilities, training, health benefits and cut out sebagaya. But it cuts the cost of human resource development company that instead dropped it, because it affects the company's overall revenue. This is due to the collapse of the business spirit of the employees.
There are other ways to increase profits that doubled as did Ali ibn Abi Talib. "O woman, if you have something to eat your husband?" Asked Ali to his wife Fatima. "By Allah I did not have anything at all, is there money Namur 6 dirhams from the fur spinning my reward. Money would I buy food for Hasan and Husayn "said Fatima. "O noble lady, give money to me 6 dirhams" said Ali. Fátima then give money to the 6 dirhams Ali ibn Abi Talib. After money is received, Ali out of the house with the intention of buying food for her sons. Suddenly in the middle of the street he met a man who said "Who wants to lend God, Essence of the Controlling and certainly he would keep his promise". Finally Ali approached the man with 6 coin hand over the money brought from home which was originally bought food for her son. After Ali was given the money directly home.

When Fátima knowing her husband to return home without bringing any food, he kept crying. Saw his wife crying, Ali immediately asked, "O noble lady, what makes you cry?". "O son of the Prophet's uncle, I see you brought home with no food at all" said Fatima. "O noble lady, I have 6 dirhams menghutangkan money was to God" said Ali. "If that's what you do I agree" said Fatima.

Toss Company Value

Values are the guidelines to act or act that comes from within, of the principles of how to live and make decisions. Value, first introduced by parents in childhood and later added by the teachers, religious beliefs, friends and social circle. Spiritual values, as this is the foundation of individual behavior that is very important. Why is it important to know the values of an individual? Although this does not have a direct impact on behavior, values strongly influence the attitudes of a. So the knowledge of an individual's value system can give insight into the attitude-attitude.
With hem-known that different people value, managers can use the Rokeach Value Survey, which divide values into two groups, namely the value of the instrument and the value of the goal that can be used to assess potential employees and determine whether their values in line with the dominant values of organization. Performance and employee satisfaction is likely more important mengaggap, imagination, skinfold hung, and freedom will most likely be worse fitness value to an organization that seek compliance from its employees. The managers will be more likely mengahargai, with a positive rate, and share rewards to employees who fit within the organization, and employees will more likely be satisfied if they perceive that they are appropriate. This defense of the management effort during the selection of new employees to find candidates who not only have the ability, experience, and motivation to excel, but also an appropriate value system (compatible) with the organization's value system.
Managers should be interested in the attitudes of their employees because of his warning against the potential problems and because attitudes affect behavior. Karyawanyang satisfied and committed, for example, has come out and absenteeism rates are lower. If the manager wants the application to stop and roll down - especially among those who are productive employees - they'll want to do things that will evoke a positive work attitude, writes Stephen Robbins in Organizational Behavior.

Companies that are guided by the value of proven successful in the long run. Grameen Bank is a company that puts value with his vision of a world without poverty. Grameen Bank founded by Muhammad Yunus has only one aim which is to distribute credit to the poor in Bangladesh. The values inculcated Muhammad Yunus to the employee or his staff to make the Grameen Bank grew rapidly. First time to help the group of mothers had poor bamboo craftsman, now has helped 46,000 villages in Bangladesh. Especially if the business is guided by the value of worship to God. "God loves those who easily in the sale, purchase, settlement and billing. He who gives to those who hold in distress (to pay the debt) or release him, then God will menghisabnya with penghisaban light. He who receives re-purchase from people who regretted their purchase, Allah will cancel (delete) fault on the Day of Resurrection. "Words of the Prophet Muhammad.

Grow Spirit Business

With honesty and ability were able to correct Muhammad trading goods Khadija, by way of trade more favorable than those previously undertaken. Likewise, the characters are sweet and noble feelings, he can attract the love and respect him Maisara.
When it came time they would come back, they buy all the merchandise from the Levant which would roughly like Khadijah. When stopped at Zahran Marr'-z on the way home, Maisara said:''Muhammad quick-quick you meet her and tell penglamanmu. He would understand that.''
Understanding the feelings or humanizing others is the key in the business world.
Don Peterson, former president of Ford Motor Company, told an interesting story, when I visited a printing plant in Buffalo, New York. A big man came to him and said:''You know, I want to say to Andasatu thing. In the past, I hated working here. However, lately I am often asked for their opinion and it makes me feel regarded as a human being. I never thought before that it would consider perusahaa me as a human being. Now I like this job.''
One of the appreciation we can show to another human is asked with sincerity about what he was thinking in terms of what we do together. Truth of what he got?
We ask and listen, we treat people with respect. That attitude will most likely rewarded in the same way. We must foster an environment in which people are not afraid to speak the truth. We need the truth if you want to move safely into the future with a knocked out all the difficulties that we encounter.

It seems we will not be enough to get it when other people do not openly share them with us. Too many employees and front-line managers are hesitant to report the truth to his superiors because they live in a corporate culture that lacks a clear appreciation of the value of truth.
Jack Welch (General Electric), Mike Walsh (Union Pacific Railroad), and Percy Barnevik (Asia Brown Boveri) is known as the remodeling experts have the ability to obtain the truth, the truth and used it to run well, eventually led to an external force normal.
We will become experts in applying that ability if we appreciate the people around us, because it can encourage the business.

"Many top executives tend to establish the distance to the front lines. The bigger the company, the more likely the top executives lose contact with the front line. This could be the single most important factor that inhibits the growth of the company "says Jack Trout. The experience of the failure of the world's top executives can be used as a very valuable lesson and we do not repeat again.
