Negotiations require disciplined thinking. There is no way around this fact. The first step for any negotiation is that both people are able to articulate their own interests and concerns and both people are able to understand the other person’s interests and concerns. To do this, there are 4 things to think about for a successful negotiation.
In order to keep your negotiation arguments relevant and focused, you must be able to analyze the interests and concerns of the person you are negotiating with and apply your arguments to that person’s interest and concerns. This requires answering four questions:
If you fail to address the other person’s interest and concerns, they shall tune out, and your negotiation will most likely be unsuccessful.

Do you really want conflict resolution in your workplace? By definition, the word resolution means that something is resolved, that there’s an end. That end, however, is not necessarily a positive outcome. In many resolutions, there’s a winner and a loser. Of course, the winner is happy, and the loser is certainly not.
It’s conflict resolution vs. conflict management.
In my opinion, the real goal for the business owner is conflict management, not conflict resolution. A goal of eliminating, avoiding, and suppressing conflict is an unrealistic dream. Rather, the focus should be on managing the conflict and providing tools and methods for employees to effectively engage in conflict.
Conflict costs businesses an excessive amount of time, money, and energy. In order to manage the conflict, your focus should be on developing employees’ abilities and providing methodology to raise and address conflict efficiently, effectively, and respectfully.
You should be creating a Conflict Management System that focuses on three major components:

The Jewish holiday of Chanukah begins this week. The holiday is based on the story of the Maccabees, who are heroes because they beat the powerful Assyrian empire. During the holiday we light eight candles. This is symbolic of the candelabra oil that was too limited to last more than one day, and miraculously, lasted eight days.
The Chanukah candles are to remind us that we are to spread light as far as we can. I recently read a suggestion from Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook that we should each look at ourselves as a living Chanukah candle capable of spreading our own inner light in the world.
Each night of Chanukah I’ll be posting one of my favorite Chanukah songs as a reminder that we each have the ability to spread our inner light and be a hero to someone else in the world.
