Summary

THE CEO WANTED A CONTROLLER TO BE MORE THAN JUST AN ACCOUNTANT. WOULD SHE BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE EXPECTATIONS? After three years on the job, Marcella was comfortable and confident in her role as controller of PlumbCo, a $20 million manufacturer and distributor of plumbing products. That all changed, however, when a new CEO arrived and she found that his view of a financial executive's role was dramatically different than that of her previous boss. He expected her to not only be a highly effective accountant, but also a dynamic, value-adding member of PlumbCo's management team. Could she move beyond the "controller" stereotype and become a true management accountant, not just a "bean counter?" Her financial accounting background had not prepared her for such a role, but a chance meeting   with an elderly, one-armed mentor, known simply as "the Major," helped her escape conventional thinking and embark on an adventure that took her into all aspects of PlumbCo's business. What obstacles will she face? What solutions will she develop? Will she see above and beyond an accountant's conventional thinking, rise to the occasion, and meet the CEO's expectations? And what will it take for her to make this transformation?

    Negotiation is a method by which people settle differences. It is a process by which compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument and dispute.In any disagreement, individuals understandably aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position (or perhaps an organisation they represent). However, the principles of fairness, seeking mutual benefit and maintaining a relationship are the keys to a successful outcome.Specific forms of negotiation are used in many situations: international affairs, the legal system, government, industrial disputes or domestic relationships as examples. However, general negotiation skills can be learned and applied in a wide range of activities.  Negotiation skills can be of great benefit in resolving any differences that arise between you and others.Stages of Negotiation1. PreparationBefore any negotiation takes place, a decision needs to be taken as to when and where a meeting will take place to discuss the problem and who will attend.  Setting a limited time-scale can also be helpful to prevent the disagreement continuing.2. DiscussionDuring this stage, individuals or members of each side put forward the case as they see it, i.e. their understanding of the situation. 3. Clarifying GoalsFrom the discussion, the goals, interests and viewpoints of both sides of the disagreement need to be clarified.4. Negotiate Towards a Win-Win OutcomeThis stage focuses on what is termed a 'win-win' outcome where both sides feel they have gained something positive through the process of negotiation and both sides feel their point of view has been taken into consideration. 5. AgreementAgreement can be achieved once understanding of both sides’ viewpoints and interests have been considered. 6. Implementing a Course of ActionFrom the agreement, a course of action has to be implemented to carry through the decision.Now it's time to take action

It will also show you which questions are smart to ask your potential future employer, because, as opposed to what some people may suppose, this is an important part of the interview to show how passionate you may be about your future job. 
Last but not least, most people forget to follow up and simply wait for the interviewer to contact them. This is a big mistake. If you want to stand out among the crowd, it is important to follow up after the interview, and show how driven and motivated you are.
