This section provides inventories, assessments, simulations and games to help participants identify personal negotiating style preferences and develop practical hands-on negotiating skills. All are supported by comprehensive Professional Facilitator Guides.
It is important to recognise that everyone is a negotiator, and everyone sets out to “sell” ideas and influence others at every level. Sometimes categorised as specialist competences that are needed only by sales people, negotiating and selling are core skills needed by almost everyone working in an organisation.
Using the Participant Guide, individuals can create 2 profiles. The first profile is based on an assessment of their own preferences for one of 5 negotiating styles: Defeat, Withdraw, Accommodate, Compromise, or Collaborate.
The optional second profile, based on scores compiled from the peer Feedback Form, provides additional insight, as many people who think they are collaborative learn that their associates may disagree.
