Praise for the Right Choice Model
You Only Have 2 Choices; One is Right
When difficult team problems occur, teammates have two options: 1) become an ally, or 2) become an adversary. When you are an adversary, you are a victim or a victimizer, always pointing the finger at others. This kind of behavior forms the lower loop of the Right Choice Model, which describes the ineffective cycle of wrong-minded victimization.
When you choose to be an ally, you work collaboratively with your teammates to achieve team goals. You demonstrate positive and accountable work behaviors - the upper loop of the Model, or the cycle of successfully addressing problems using Right-Minded behavior and accountability.
The Right Choice Model also contains an important question for teammates to apply when difficult situations arise. It is:
"How did I create, promote, or allow this difficult situation to happen?"
In addition to details about how and when to use this question to address team conflict, this crucial question can be printed and distributed to teammates as a physical reminder (look for the printable Right Choice cards template that comes with this ebook package). These cards also include the definition of Right-Minded accountability giving teammates a tangible way to remember and apply the model to make positive, team-oriented choices.

The concept of “right” in Right-Minded Teamwork and the Right Choice Model has nothing to do with right-brain thinking or right-wing viewpoints. It is about what your team, together, decides is "right." Your team's preferred way of being and behaving as an ally, i.e. a set of collective teamwork choices, defines your team's Right-Minded attitudes and work behaviors.

Thanks for teaching us about our two choices [in the Right-Minded Choice Model]. It clearly shows me that I have two choices: I can either be a victim of the world I see, or I can be accountable and change the way I respond to every seeming difficulty that happens. Thanks again. I now feel more in control of myself! Robin H. 2015
