Does this sound like your situation?

This is for you when…

When asked about the goal, you answer that you want to start or develop a business.
In negotiations, you assume the other party is interested in the same things you are.
A gap appears between the stated strategy and actual actions.

Why watch

What will become clearer

How to distinguish wanting to have a business from understanding its goal.
Why strategy requires seeing participants' actual interests.
How the connection between goal, principles, and strategy helps you examine your own actions.

From watching to applying

What to do after the lesson

Return to the question of exactly what you want in a particular business.

Look at what you know about the other party's interests and what you assume.

Compare your latest decision with the stated goal and principles.

A question about your own situation

What exactly is my goal, and do the people I interact with need it?

The questions and actions after watching were suggested by the catalog’s editors. They are neither quotations nor the author’s original assignments.

An important distinction

A meaning to preserve

The meeting does not teach you to identify other people's intentions infallibly. It emphasizes the real goal and actual interests, beyond an attractive statement about business.

Check your expectations before choosing

What you should know

Not a way to determine others' intentions without error or a legal review of a transaction.

Follow the connections

What it connects with

Editorial connections between ideas: where to turn for another perspective. These are not required prerequisites.
