Negotiation Strategies for Leaders
About the class
Negotiation – the process through which two or more people “give and take” in a relationship – is an unavoidable part of organizational life, and thus negotiation skills are an essential part of any leader’s toolkit, regardless of function or industry. Yet, the concept of “negotiating” strikes fear in the hearts of many. Leaders need to manage – and thus negotiate with – many stakeholders, from customers and vendors, to peers and supervisors. In this webinar, professor Alison Fragale will discuss what the best (and worst) negotiators do, and the top strategies that enable leaders to solve everyday challenges, both big and small, through negotiation.
