The book WinCrafting describes a breakthrough approach to being truly, profoundly and quickly effective in the presence of conflict. The WinCrafting approach ... which brings to the fore Ideas Whose Time Has Come ... replaces the old and outdated ideas which have failed the test of time, such as 'win-lose,' 'conflict management,' and 'the adversary system.' In this book, you will discover the steps which lead away from the pain and wasted time which are entailed in 'traditional' approaches to 'dealing with conflicts and problems.' Instead, the new WinCrafting approach produces results which are deeply satisfying to everyone who is involved in a situation which people have been trained to think of as a 'conflict, 'dispute' or 'problem.' Words such as those are only labels! What you really have, when life presents you with a situation or circumstance to which such labels can be affixed, is raw materials, and you are going to create something with those raw materials! So, instead of using the 'rules' of the reactive approaches, you can instead learn to use the role model of artists, and take full advantage of the creativity which indwells you! And as you begin to master that creativity, you can find a way to generate results (not only in the presence of 'conflicts,' but in such things as your relationships and educational and career paths!) which are, well, the author, John Rice, likes to call them Beautiful Music! This book is full of many of the stories of the thousands of people who John has worked with, over the decades of his WinCrafting practice, people who have created beautiful and inspiring things with those raw materials! The book also lays out the critical steps ... you simply MUST be aware of those if you want to walk away from the experiences people so often have when they are attempting to do such things as 'manage conflict,' with horrifying portions of their time being eaten alive by those situations, and living in a great deal of pain in the process.
