Negotiation is a critical path to business success. Every day we engage in negotiations when working with our customers, vendors, and employees as well as in our personal lives.
It is true most of us dread negotiating, believing it is a zero-sum game where one side always wins, and the side always loses. As a result, it is this fear of losing a negotiation that happens to be one of our greatest obstacles to overcome.
