The Hidden Rules of Successful Negotiation and Communication


Book Description

Negotiations in professional or private life often take an unsatisfactory course due to stress, confrontation with aggressive or unfair behavior, or because of overwhelming situations. Negotiations generally require a thorough preparation, strategy and a sophisticated tactic to make us feel safe in the presentation of our goals and arrive at a mutually satisfactory outcome. Conventional books about negotiations are usually limited to strategies and techniques, but leave out elements of psychological communication and emotional intelligence, which include non-verbal communication and empathy, which in turn are essential for successful negotiation. Therefore, this book on the one hand constitutes the essential techniques and strategies in the context of negotiation, but also considers "soft skills" without which negotiations cannot be successful. This book presents practical examples in dealing with situations such as salary, contract and sales negotiations. In particular on context and time appropriate negotiation techniques; analyzing negotiation partners and their motives; interpret group processes, and how to successfully implement negotiation psychology.

The Psychology of Negotiation


Book Description

The psychological view of negotiations - The core element of any negotiation are the people that find themselves within it. This negotiation training is therefore a crash course in psychology, condensed on the most relevant aspects for negotiations. The knowledge will help you develop confidence for the negotiation process.

Learn to negotiate with win-win approaches so that both sides benefit - Most people think of negotiations in terms of win-lose strategies. These strategies are about dividing up the proverbial pie. The principle here is: what one party gets, the other party does not. However, there are also numerous win-win negotiation options. This method of negotiation is all about finding ways to increase the proverbial pie or creative dividing it up in such a way that in the end both parties are satisfied because both get what they want without having to compromise.
