You can't negotiate in public. People won't make concessions in public. They will do that in private. Like sausage making, you have to do it behind closed doors.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's better to negotiate behind closed doors than it is to be out throwing rocks at one another in the public square.
I'm not big with negotiating.
Any privacy in public is a hard thing to negotiate.
Negotiation is not a policy. It's a technique. It's something you use when it's to your advantage, and something that you don't use when it's not to your advantage.
I'd like to add that negotiating is not something to be avoided or feared - it's an everyday part of life.
Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.
Why are we talking about talking? Why negotiating about negotiating? It's very simple. If you want to get to peace, put all your preconditions on the side, sit down opposite a table, not in a studio, by the way.
Know what you want to achieve prior to starting to negotiate. It's the golden rule but the one most people fail to heed. Without a plan, you allow the opposing party to define your goals instead of the other way around.
Anything can be negotiated if you have a strong leader.
The whole concept of negotiating is intimidating to many people.
