When negotiating a business deal, do you struggle to reach a viable solution? What are some effective negotiation strategies you can utilize to manage difficult negotiations?
According to business leader Jim Schleckser, there are two main types of negotiations. A collaborative negotiation utilizes cooperation and understanding to identify your associate’s goals and generate a mutually beneficial solution. Conversely, an adversarial negotiation employs force to gain an advantage over your competitor. With this deal, it’s crucial to leverage counter techniques such as mirroring and reasoning to mediate your adversary’s combative tactics.
In today’s episode of The Lazy CEO Podcast, Jim Schleckser talks about navigating collaborative and adversarial negotiations. He explains how to negotiate to reach common ground, how to identify and counter adversarial negotiation approaches, and how to leverage confrontational negotiation strategies to reach a solution.
