Win-Win negotiations – your ticket to success
Finding a Fair Compromise
Effective negotiation helps you to resolve situations where what you want conflicts with what someone else wants. The aim of win-win negotiation is to find a solution that is acceptable to both parties, and leaves both parties feeling that they've won, in some way, after the event.
|
Win-Win negotiations come with a wealth of benefits. First of all, all parties involved are more relaxed when entering a meeting whose purpose is to reach mutual ground. However, just because the parties involved want to collaborate and create a relationship, this doesn’t mean they will agree to any offer. Mutual relations are excellent in business, as long as they can bring valuable benefits to all the parties involved in the negotiation.
Win-win negotiations can bring a lot of benefits to your business. Companies that want to make a name for themselves and get recognized should compromise more to reap benefits in the long term. Take all the time you need to make a decision, counter offer if you’re not feeling comfortable with a first offer, and be ready to argument your claims. Not every business individual is a skilled negotiator; yet, you can always opt for negotiation training sessions to perfect your abilities and master the techniques. Stick to your guns no matter what, maintain a professional attitude, and you will have great chances of reaching a mutual agreement with your opponents. |
What Is Leadership?
|
The word "leadership" can bring to mind a variety of images. For example:
A political leader, pursuing a passionate, personal cause. An explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow. An executive, developing her company's strategy to beat the competition. Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring. Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way. More at link below... |
Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right. – Professor Warren G. Bennis
