As a business owner you are likely always in negotiations with someone…an employee, a vendor a landlord, another business owner, a customer etc. Sometimes there is a need to negotiate with an employee or manager whose help you need to accomplish an objective. Do you ever feel like you are unsuccessful in your communication or are being taken advantage of?
Successful negotiations incorporates effective problem solving to balance the “two wants” for a happy medium. You should feel “heard” but also be able to understand the other party’s concerns and objectives.
