Negotiation means getting the best of your opponent.
I'm not big with negotiating.
Yes, negotiating is about money and the bottom line, but a lot of times, it's much more emotional and complex than that. Realizing that the economic outcome may not be the other party's top priority gives you more chips to play with and will enable you to achieve better results than you may have anticipated.
Oftentimes, the best negotiations result in a deal that benefits both parties. There are times when you simply want to go for the jugular, but often, you want the other person to feel pleased with the outcome, even if you are the clear victor.
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.
Negotiating in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.
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.
The whole concept of negotiating is intimidating to many people.
I've grown up a little bit. I understand the importance of the negotiation. It is a collective act.
I'd like to add that negotiating is not something to be avoided or feared - it's an everyday part of life.
