Now it is time to examine the TTC strike and understand how they were able to prepare, discuss, have clear goals and negotiate a win-win outcome through out the course of action.

    I included this paper because I enjoyed the discussion about the qualities of a good negotiator. Good negotiators are usually people who are respectful others, can develop a strategic negotiation plan, and understand you have to think about certain things, like the “big picture” of a situation in order to generate creative options (Dietmeyer, 2008). One of the reasons why I included this written work in my Artifact, was for the second part of the assignment, we were required to describe a conflict scenario. For that conflict scenario, we were to evaluate reasons as to why utilizing negotiation would be wrong for that situation. Next, we were allowed to take the opposite approach, and list reasons as to why we should use negotiation techniques for the conflict scenario. I always enjoy getting to do assignments that look at both ends of the spectrum: “why should we do something and why should we not do something.” If you have ever been in therapy, it sort of like doing the “empty chair exercise” that some therapists ask you to do when a client is experiencing conflict. And essentially, the whole point of the exercise is for the individual to be able to experience different aspects of a conflict in a new manner through the “empty-chair”

    Negotiations styles are scholastically recognized as being broken down into two general categories and those are distributive bargaining styles and integrative negotiation styles. Distributive bargaining styles of negotiation are understood to be a competitive type of negotiation. “Distributive bargaining, also known as positional bargaining, negotiating zero-sum, competitive negotiation, or win-lose negotiation, is a type or style of negotiation in which the parties compete for the distribution of a fixed amount of value” (Business Blog Reviews, 2011). This type of negotiation skill or style approach might be best represented in professional areas such as the stock market where there is a fixed goal in mind or even in a garage sale negotiation where the owner would have a specific value of which he/she would not go below. In contrast, an integrative negotiation approach/style is that of cooperative bargaining, or win-win types ...

    Whether or not we are aware of it, each of us is faced with an abundance of conflict each and every day. From the division of chores within a household, to asking one’s boss for a raise, we’ve all learned the basic skills of negotiation. A national bestseller, Getting to Yes, introduces the method of principled negotiation, a form of alternative dispute resolutions as opposed to the common method of positional bargaining. Within the book, four basic elements of principled negotiation are stressed; separate the people from the problem, focus on interests instead of positions, invest options for mutual gain, and insist on using objective criteria. Following this section of the book are suggestions for problems that may occur and finally a conclusion. In this journal entry I will be taking a closer look at each of the elements, and critically analyse the content; ultimately, I aim to briefly bring forth the pros and cons of Getting to Yes.

  • Reflection Paper On Negotiating Skills

    During this course, I have learned a lot about negotiating. We learned about almost every negotiating technique there is. We learned about cross-cultural negotiations, body language, Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA), variables in negotiating, and many more. Before this course, I did not know that much about negotiating. I thought that negotiating was just about trading or convincing someone to give you what you want and you did not care about the other side, resulting in a win-lose. I now know that negotiating is about getting what you want, but also giving the other side what they want as well to result in a win-win. This paper is about how I am going to improve my negotiating skills over the next six months. In order for me to improve my negotiating skills, I believe I need to improve the following skills- my body language, communication, planning, and my interpersonal communications. By improving those skills, I can become an effective negotiator.
