Negotiation

We should do a significant amount of “negotiation” to make agreements and keep things moving forward with an intention to make “win-win” possible.

Negotiation is one of the most critical professional communication activities all over the globe. At the negotiation table, everything is dynamic, some are under control, some perhaps not, there is no “one size fits all” approach to make a good deal.

Good negotiators are good communicators, great negotiators are great strategists: They are mindful, articulate and informative, demonstrate strong logic to understand their positions, the problems, perhaps chains of problems they need to solve; they also understand the other parties empathetically and treat them with professional manner. Great negotiators are high professionals who reach their professional maturity intellectually, psychologically and philosophically.

Listen before talking, learn before doing, and make relentless negotiations:  Great negotiators take a proactive attitude to foresee, understand, and prepare for negations. Respect self and other parties with empathy by being non-judgmental, active listening, and balancing between tolerance and understanding in getting the message across. It will take far more effort & diligence on your part to make negotiation a fair game to win heart and mind.

Develop fresh energy and excitement to make a seamless transcendence from a great negotiator to a great leader. Great negotiators are not only result driven, but they also enjoy such learning experiences and discover the hidden values besides the benefit from the hard numbers. Effective negotiators are working hard to engage other parties, spread clear messages throughout the negotiation sessions, take a diverse set of activities with mixed communication styles, and keep communication flow with verification.

The constant negotiation between our essence and our projection leads to growth, creativity, and human evolution. We should do a significant amount of “negotiation” to make agreements and keep things moving forward with an intention to make “win-win” possible.
