Vivian chih’s sharing of negotiation skill

Learning from the following favorite words:

 “

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.
