Negotiation And Leadership

ANSWERS

Negotiation skills are used by leaders to understand the interests of those they lead and to find ways to satisfy those interests.
Influential leaders seek to understand the interests of those they lead and find ways to satisfy those interests to achieve organizational goals through negotiation. Leadership skills are essential in any negotiation because successful outcomes are more likely when both parties can benefit.

Relationships are just as meaningful in leadership as they are in negotiation. Positive relationships are meaningful because they foster trust, essential for obtaining desired actions from others.

Finding your voice is one of many ways to improve your leadership abilities.

When the poet Walt Whitman said, “Surely, whoever speaks to me in the right voice, he or she shall I follow,” he expressed the idea that persuasive communication is essential for effective leadership. Whitman’s words also highlight the significance of tailoring leadership communications to individual concerns, interests, and styles.

Recognize that the medium you choose reveals something about you and your relationship with the person you are attempting to lead (e.g., a memo vs. a face-to-face meeting).

Building negotiation leadership skills entails analyzing complex negotiation case studies and learning various sophisticated competitive and cooperative negotiating strategies. Leadership almost always involves negotiation, and good leaders are invariably good negotiators.
