Dave Landis Dave's Idea of a Syllabus Public administrators negotiate all the time. This is true no matter at what level of government they manage. Relationships with subordinates, colleagues and superiors are often accomplished by negotiation. This is also true in dealing with the public.
Negotiation is the daily bread and butter of the public administrator.
We have eleven class sessions in which to master an essential function for the successful public administrator. Negotiation can not be taught or learned by reading a text. You can not cram for a final, show a working knowledge of lecture notes and claim you have become proficient as a negotiator. You become proficient by diligent practice, self-analysis, and study. We will incorporate these three elements in this class.
