PRINCIPLED NEGOTIATIONS

The decision to collaborate is not a simple one to take. It may seem plausible and it may be the right choice to make.

But how can we even think about working together towards an agreed solution, when the heart is pumping furiously and emotions are at their extreme, or when we have two or more entities each fully assured that only THEIR way is the right way?

The answer is simple – we need to ask ourselves: “what purpose will it serve?”

If collaboration will create the most advantageous options for us, and provide for optimal mutual gains, than we must proceed along that path, and put aside all other considerations and emotions.

The following articles are unique, as they account for the utilization (concept, approach and process) of PN to resolving well a conflict.
