W:Mr.Green,what do you think makes asuccessful negotiator?
M:Well,that’s hard to define.But I thinksuccessful negotiators have several things in common.They are always politeand rational people.They are firm but flexible.They can recognize power andknow how to use it.They are sensitive to the dynamics of the negotiation.Theway of rises and falls and how it may change direction.They project the imageof confidence,and perhaps most importantly,they know when to stop.
W:And,what about an unsuccessfulnegotiator?
M:Well,this is probably all of us when westart out.We are probably immature and over-trusting.Too emotional oraggressive.We are unsure of ourselves and we want to be liked by everyone.Good negotiators learn fast.Poor negotiators remain like that and go on losingnegotiations.
W:In your opinion,can the skills ofnegotiation be taught?
M:Well,you can teach someone how to preparefor a negotiation.There are perhaps six stages in every negotiation.Get toknow the other side.State your goals.Start the process.Clarify areas ofdisagreement or conflict.Reassess your position.Making acceptablecompromises.And finally,reach some agreement in principle.These stages canbe studied.And strategies to be used in each can be planned beforehand.But Ithink,the really successful negotiator is probably born with six sense aboutresponding appropriately to the situation at hand.
W:The artistic sense you’ve just described?
M:Yes.That’s right.
