Negotiation
is: "A Process for resolving conflict between two or more
parties whereby both or all modify their demands to achieve a
mutually acceptable compromise".
Successful negotiators save money, save time and are more motivated
through their higher degree of need satisfaction. They do not
get stressed over what might have been.
All people regardless of their jobs will already know something
about negotiating as it is practically a way of life. Paradoxically,
many people fail to recognise when they are actually negotiating.
Successful negotiating is not just about techniques and 'tricks'.
Master
negotiators recognise that the foundation for a successful negotiation
is primarily in their approach and attitude to the people they are
negotiating with.
After approach and attitude the next step is the quest for the often
spoken, but little understood, win - win outcome.
This Management Negotiation skills programme provides an introduction
to the philosophy, attitude, skills and techniques that are employed
by master negotiators. During this participative workshop, individuals
will spend time discussing and analysing their strengths, limitations
and experiences with respect to negotiation.
