What is Negotiation?

 
Negotiation is a process involving communication and action.  It can involve two sides or many sides.  You can negotiate  on your own behalf or you can have someone negotiate for you.  Sometimes the different sides have equal power and sometimes they have unequal power.  In every negotiation each side has wants and needs. In every negotiation the different sides have shared interests, and in some negotiations they have opposing interests as well.

Every negotiation requires communication, and if communication is not occurring, then the parties need to find a way to establish communication.

Every negotiation requires some level of trust, and if there is no trust, then the parties need to find a way to establish trust.

Every REALLY SUCCESSFUL negotiation results in:


(1) everyone being satisfied with the outcomes achieved


(2) everyone being satisfied that they have been hearD



(3) everyone being satisfied that they have been respected, and that   no one was taken advantage of or cheated, and



(4) everyone being satisfied that the agreement will be honoured and upheld.
