Have you ever stopped to wonder how much negotiation you get through in a single day?
It may seem natural in your workplace but in truth we do it with Family and Friends too.
When Mum is organising the kids for school one of her first negotiations is to get them out of bed and then decide what breakfast might be.
You will know then that it often takes compromise and persuasion.
A negotiating technique I used on my Daughter in her early years was the threat of a wet flannel.
Its probably Illegal now on the basis of Human Rights and dignity but it made us both engage in discussions!
We all want or need something and it will generally,in part, rely on someone else being Involved.
Just like a marriage or friendship will need give and take, so does negotiation.
If anyone thinks that winning at someone elses expense ever works, take another look.
In time that person has no value,no friends and little real success.
So the message is the one you tell your kids...... "Play nice".
