Focus On Core Concerns When Negotiating |
Emotions will have an impact on negotiations, whether we acknowledge them or not. Rather than dealing with each and every emotion that we have, and that our opponents are feeling, "Beyond Reason" presents a strategy where you turn your attention to what generates these emotions. The five core concerns that stimulate many emotions during negotiations are appreciation, affiliation, autonomy, status, and role. By dealing effectively with these concerns, you can stimulate positive emotions. The five concerns are not distinct from one another, but merge together with each contributing toward the stimulation of emotions. Therefore, each concern must be met to the appropriate extent, which will be different in each negotiation.
