Negotiation And Leadership Strategies: Creating Win-Win
Situations

In any group situation, there will be differing opinions and needs. Inevitably, disagreements can occur. To be able to avoid breakdowns and turn these various points of view into strengths rather than obstacles is a key skill for leadership success. Creating win-win situations brings harmony to all our relationships, professional and personal. 

The core principles and perspectives of negotiation will be discussed in a dynamic workshop setting that will allow the group to actively practice solving real problems, with a specific emphasis on issues that arise in the educational environment. Participants will have the opportunity to submit actual dilemmas from their own experience for practice resolution. 

This method helps to reframe problems in a way that relies on innovation, rather than compromise, to optimize the outcome for all involved. It looks at the practicalities of a situation in an objective and measurable way, while meeting the needs and interests of those involved in a way that preserves and even enhances the ongoing relationship.

Course detailed description

Based on the principles of negotiation taught by the Harvard Negotiation Project, this class provides practical problem-solving skills that are applicable in both professional and personal situations. Since 1979, the Harvard model has been used to optimize business partnerships, solve workplace disputes, and even to resolve conflicts between nations in the Middle East.

The core principles and perspectives of negotiation will be discussed in a dynamic workshop setting that will allow the group to actively practice solving real problems, with a specific emphasis on issues that arise in the educational environment. Participants will have the opportunity to submit actual dilemmas from their own experience for practice resolution.

This method helps to reframe problems in a way that relies on innovation, rather than compromise, to optimize the outcome for all involved. It looks at the practicalities of a situation in an objective and measurable way, while meeting the needs and interests of those involved in a way that preserves and even enhances the ongoing relationship.

The course will examine how to approach issues in a principled manner and how to deal with those who won’t. It looks at how to diffuse the emotions in difficult situations and how to find the best achievable outcome when agreements can’t be reached.
