Overview:
Are negotiations something to win or something to create value for those in your community? This program on Negotiating Through Dignity and Belonging offers an approach for leaders to achieve both goals.
Beginning with an introduction to the classic model of negotiations, the program quickly moves beyond this model to explore critical factors to make negotiations within and among organization more valuable, productive, and likely to generate dignity and belonging. Topics include how to make sure you are negotiating over the “right” issues, you have the “right” people at the table, and negotiating agreements will stand the test of time. Please join us for a different kind of program on negotiations that has the potential to transform your leadership capabilities.
