Salaries & Negotiations
Effective negotiation is a two-way process that involves active participation, empathy and compromise. Engaging in the negotiation process can promote relationship building as people increase communication and understanding. In an effective negotiation, everyone wins. The key to effective negotiation is clear communication. Communication involves three important skills: understanding, listening and speaking. Together, these three skills empower an individual to clearly identify and discuss a point of view or source of disagreement and negotiate an outcome acceptable to both parties.
In addition, remember to show respect, identify and define the issue, seek a variety of solutions, collaborate, be reliable, and preserve the relationship.
