Negotiation at Work

V. Negotiating Styles

 

Defining the Styles

Objectives:	To introduce participants to five negotiating (or conflict resolution) styles To discuss when and where each of the styles is appropriate
Time:	45 minutes
Group Size:	Small groups of three or four
Materials:	Hard copy of the Negotiating Styles overhead and worksheet for each person. Flip-charts, magic markers, and tape for each group.
