When I first entered the Negotiation: Theory and Practice course, I realized that this course would be something I would remember. The course introduced my mind to multi-level thinking when negotiating. While reading Diamond's book "Getting More" (2010), I could really relate to many of his negotiation examples. Being interested in literature and having classroom experiences sparked my interest in the topic of negotiation. The one example with the building and the mouse problem is relevant since I'm dealing with the situation at my apartment complex. I think back to the methods I've tried to fix the mouse problem, but none have worked in over two months. Using the method of painting a clear picture to the other party created a picture in the other person's mind. The method actually worked in collecting information and raising awareness of mouse-borne diseases in my apartment complex. People negotiate about things in different situations every day. Contrary to the classroom literature, Diamond (2010) suggests not fostering relationships, interests, and win-win outcomes simply because one person thinks it is an effective tool. His teaching and literature focus on achieving and achieving your goals in negotiations. Examining the twelve major strategies gave me a different perspective on how I viewed negotiations. The model explains how to get the most out of your goals and objectives. Kolb and Williams (2001) suggest that negotiation is a science created to enable a win-win approach to negotiation. RelationsDiamond (2010) also criticizes the relationship between two parties and putting themselves in the other's place. By doing this, it allows you to feel what the other person may be feeling before...... middle of paper ...... this is important to help you get an idea of ​​appropriate gestures to use in the negotiations. Diamond not only provides insight into some of his student's greatest triumphs, but he does so in a humble, humane, and relatable way that shows remarkable personal reflection and understanding of negotiations.
