Becoming a Leader: Developing Your Style and Making Sound Decisions
What You’ll Learn
Negotiation is an integral part of creating value for an organization. Your success depends on your skills as a negotiator—regardless of whether you are seeking project resources, deciding on a new hire’s salary, or inking a high-stakes deal for your company.
In this program, you will gain insight into the habits of dealmakers as you build your skills. Through group exercises, you will learn how to execute proven tactics, refine your personal negotiating style, and improve your ability to bargain successfully and ethically in any situation. Along the way, you will gain new appreciation for how negotiating skills can help you overcome a wide range of challenges—at work and beyond.
No prior training in negotiation is required. If you already have some negotiation experience and want to take your strategic skills to a higher level, consider our complementary program, Advanced Negotiation Skills.
