The art of negotiation is a skill that can be used every day throughout life. Negotiations take place with contemporaries at work, with friends over social events, with children, with parents and in every aspect of life that requires a decision. Negotiation is reaching an agreement by conferring and discussing.
Good negotiation takes a positive attitude and a little bit of acting.
When negotiating, we become more determined to get the most important items and give up those that are not critical in compromise. Conflict is not the root of negotiation, decision-making is. But it does require coming to terms with another person's needs or limitations and a whole host of other variables. For example, you want to go to dinner with a friend, but she is reluctant. Upon hearing this, it is apparent that the problem is not going out for dinner, but the type of food to choose.
