Today’s lesson is about OPV or ‘Other Person’s Viewpoint’.

This tool is used to identify the people affected by a topic or issue and imagine their views or their different perspectives on the topic or issue.

This tool is also used when all of the people affected by a topic or issue are present.

Use It or Lose It:

To make OPV actionable, remember to:

(1)  Think about who is affected by a topic or issue; whether they are present or not.

(2) Try to really understand their point of view or their different perspectives on the topic or issue.

(3)  Once you have considered the other person or person’s points of view or their different perspectives, you may want to reconsider your point of view.

When to Use It:

  Whenever you are involved with other people in an argument or discussion.

What Do You Think?

  Can you think of any situations where you could have used OPV to better understand the other person(s) viewpoint or their different perspectives?  Please let us know in the comments below.

 

Thanks for watching, keep behaving and until next time…Prime Your Pump!

  1. Very nice follow up to what we chatted about electronically a couple weeks ago. The OPV method is working with my daughter and SIL, but let me freely admit that I need more practice. Tomorrow will be another chance to work on it – a family gathering of 6 people, including my mother – 96 years old and she won;’t let you forget it!

    Speaking of tomorrow – Happy Mothers Day to your wife, daughter and/or daughter in-law, as appropriate.
