Step 4: Power Assessment

In negotiation, power is a function of alternatives. Think about alternatives in three categories: (1) sources, (2) currencies, and (3) skills (see Table 12.4). Don’t overlook the power of the relationship and how this contributes to a true win-win agreement. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information on enhancing your power.
