Urys Negotiation Concept
What stood out to me about Urys concept of principled negotiation was the idea that win-win scenarios can be achieved with a little work and consideration. Urys concept of principled negotiation is based on the idea that parties in a conflict should aim to find a solution that is mutually beneficial, rather than simply trying to win at the expense of the other side. This approach requires willingness to compromise, and an understanding that both sides have something to offer (Fisher & Ury, 1991). In addition, Urys concept recognizes that people are often more concerned with their own interests than with the interests of others. As a result, he advocates for a win-win approach in which both sides feel that they have gained something from the agreement. Its successful implementation, however, depends upon ones ability to listen and move the discussion from a stalemate to an agreement through understanding the needs of the counterparty (TEDx, n.d.; TED, n.d.).
As a school principal, I expect to be frequently faced with situations that require negotiation in order to resolve. For example, when two teachers have a conflict over the use of classroom space, I will need to negotiate a solution that is fair and acceptable to both parties. In these types of situations, I would expect to find that Urys concept of principled negotiation can be very helpful. This approach would require me to listen and consider the interests of all parties involved, and try to find a solution that satisfies as many of those interests as possible. In my experience, this approach should lead to fairer and more durable solutions than if I had simply tried to impose my own view on the situation. For that reason, I believe that Urys concept of principled negotiation is a valuable tool that can be applied in many different types of situations.

He who has learned to disagree without being disagreeable has discovered the most valuable secret of a diplomat." Robert Estabrook To disagree in a polite, yet friendly manner, while appearing to agree, is perhaps the most effective way of being a diplomat in negotiation exchanges. In negotiations, the advantage is lost if one loses one's stance of calm, caring concern for the other party's interests. One will find success at the
Instead, the well-being of all members in a family is taken into account when decisions are made. The same, according to Shell (1999), is true of business. In internal bargaining procedures, the interest and well-being of subordinates are taken into account when arriving at decisions. It should also however be taken into account that different people will have different opinions and interests. The ideal is to use integrative bargaining
Also, the number of musicians should be more under the control of the producers, who presumably had a better idea of how many employees could be afforded by a particular show, as opposed to the Musician's Union, which would only have one narrow interested party in mind, namely the musician's collective welfare. (Hostetter, 2003) Who owns the final product -- the artist or the person funding the art? Neither can
Negotiating Team Job Overview Flyer In the normal course of events in business and society, most management groups are not adequately prepare to effectively deal with crisis situations: fires, natural disasters, bomb threats, or any type of willful acts of destruction. Two recent examples that showed just how underprepared most organizations are were the 9/11 Trade Center attack and Hurricane Katrina; both failures in their own right of the ability to quickly
Negotiating a trip to California with my spouse I lived in California for more than four years and all of my dearest friends still live there. When I moved to Washington DC I planned to revisit California frequently but I became absorbed in my schooling and never had the time to plan a trip. After my marriage I made an agreement with my wife to never travel on my own, except
Negotiating Strategy Principled Negotiation and Cooperation According to an article provided by the Conflict Research Consortium (CRC)(1998), one style of negotiation that has achieved favor in modern business practice is Principled Negotiation. This calls for an interest in achieving a meaningful compromise in which both parties have cause to accept the terms of an agreement. According to the article William Ury and Roger Fisher first advocated this form of negotiation as a
