Negotiation - A Beginner's Guide...

Samuel J. Robbins

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

Slayers Every One of Us - How...

Kristin Russo, Jenny Owen Youngs

Read by the authors and hosts of the hit podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, this memoir reflects on heartbreak, perseverance, building community, and life lessons learned from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This audiobook features bonus songs, jingles, and clips from the podcast and live shows, and contributions from fans/committed Scoobies.Kristin and Jenny’s marriage started with an ultimatum: to further their relationship, Kristin must watch Jenny's favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With the terms set, they began a journey that has led them through seven seasons of the beloved genre show, a podcast rewatching the series with their newly minted listenership of “Scoobies,” unexpected success, and a divorce. Through it all, their love for Buffy and their commitment to their community held them together against the odds.Slayers, Every One of Us is the story of how two queer women navigated divorce on a very public level and managed to stay in each other’s lives through it all. While chock full of Buffy-related content (and Buffering!) for true fans, this is ultimately a memoir of queer love and chosen family. It's a heartwarming story for anyone who's experienced lost love, and a roadmap for staying close with your ex.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Bias-Conscious Leadership - How...

Christina Lundsgaard Ottsen

Did you know that diversity is one of the best tools for leadership development? 
It blocks bias so managers and leaders can make better decisions. 
This book presents a program for mental leadership fitness. The workout consists of concrete tools in areas such as digital management, behavioral management, inclusive management, and emotional intelligence. It’s not a quick fix, but an ongoing process that works, just like any other exercise program. 
The author demonstrates what it takes for diversity to promote better arguments, and innovative thinking. This means that diversity ensures better decision making because we are constantly reminded to consider alternatives. That is essential for creating successful results. The approach also provides psychological safety in the workplace and an experience of inclusion, which is the most important common denominator for being able to create a good working environment and avoid culture backlash. 
Each chapter contains at least one business case that outlines a relevant issue. It provides insight into how managers and leaders minimize unconscious bias by inviting diversity into organizations and allowing it to unfold both humanly and technologically. 
New perspectives on power in relationships are also included, which have a decisive influence on the possibilities of reducing bias.Written for leaders and managers, BIAS-CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP is relevant for everyone with management and leadership responsibilities in private and public organizations. It is also useful for supervisors, HR people, lecturers, students, and consultants. This audiobook includes a downloadable pdf with figures from the book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Q9bMhNw9ERogRODUWOnER8zdEL3mt15/view?usp=share_link
