Seven Elements of Negotiations

• Interests. Interests are “the fundamental drivers of negotiation,” according to Patton—our basic needs, wants, and motivations.

• Relationships.
• Alternatives and BATNA.
• Options.
• Commitments.
• Communication.

• Preparation Before a Meeting.
• Active Listening Skills.
• Keep Emotions in Check.
• Clear and Effective Communication.
• Collaboration and Teamwork.
