Be Prepared For Your Negotiations of Tomorrow
“The ability to negotiate -with customers, partners, investors, suppliers, and colleagues-is a vital skill for every professional.“ (Harvard Business School, 2014)
“I learned that to be a good leader, you must be a good negotiator in every sense.“ (Fernando Sanz Pinto, General Manager, 2014)
Why The Empathic Negotiation Canvas?
Negotiations take place in business as well as in private life every day. For this reason we should understand that the success of negotiation is primarily based on two premises (The Harvard Concept, 2009):
- The main part of the negotiation success lies in the proper preparation prior to the negotiation
- The small part of the negotiation is based on objective or extrinsic goals, while a large part lies in hidden issues, like...
- We want to make our live easier
- We want others to consider us competent
- We want a peace of mind
- We want to be listened to
- We want remain the freedom of choice
For this purpose the Empathic Negotiation Canvas has been designed. It enables you to be able to prepare well for your next negotiation. The Empathic Negotiation Canvas will support you to work out your motivation, goals and arguments as well as the ones of your opponent. It finally guides you systematically through the complete negotiation process. In detail, the canvas supports you in...
