Pro-actively engaging cultural values

How would a next generation negotiator engage the issue of unidentified stakeholders?

First, before coming to the bargaining table, she will have already done her homework: she researched the historical basis for current social conditions. She also studied the legal structure and examined tensions between local custom and national legislative controls. While there is neither need nor expectation for her to become an instant expert in theology, she properly comprehends “religion” in terms of its social definition. Understanding faith traditions facilities understanding the ethical values and notions of obligation that define a community.

Vivian chih’s sharing of negotiation skill

Learning from the following favorite words:

…expert negotiators free themselves from the restrictions, born of habit, that imprison so many of their less skilled counterparts…..I provide examples of how versatile negotiators decide what to say. Such strategies as timing, positioning, advancing, and retreating are important, but so is the less studied talent of using words to implement these and other strategies.
