Practical Negotiating: Tools, Tactics & Techniques

Tactical Orientation Continuum

How can we put the previous questions to work? Think of a continuum with one end representing the win-win zone and the other end the adversarial tactics zone. The middle is the neutral zone (see Figure 10.1).

Next, answer each of the questions in Figure 10.2 using the following scale:

+2	Definitely yes
+1	Possible yes
0	Unsure
−1	Possible no
−2	Definitely no
