John R. Stoker discusses five specific mindsets may cause you and others to behave in unproductive ways that diminish results and stifle your ability to work well with others:
- To be right, not wrong
- To be respected, not disrespected
- To be in control, not out of control
- To be appreciated, not unappreciated
- To be safe, not unsafe

Mindsets grow out of life’s experiences and the assumptions that you make over a period of time. Coupled with your expectations in any given situation, your mindset influences how you treat and deal with others. Your mindset can either help or hinder the situation, especially in strenuous or challenging circumstances.
