Negotiate win-win for success

Man is a social animal and the evolution of modern man is a culmination of his series of interaction and negotiation with nature and surroundings. ‘Negotiation’ as a term is generally applied to solving business disputes, industrial mergers, international settlements, and ease political tensions etc. As man has moved from animal instincts towards a refined psychology, he has left behind his aggressive attitudes and mastered the art of skillful negotiations to solve most of his problems. Be it a problem in the office, in the shopping mall or standing in a que to buy a ticket to see a movie, all these processes involve negotiating skill. Most of these negotiating skills are acquired through experience and age, time-to-time guidance from the experts, and our own inbuilt intuitive system. A person who does not know his objectives in life, will not be able to negotiate anything with others and therefore stands to lose tremendously in the long run. Negotiation is an art and some people are born with this gift. Eventhough India had great leaders, it fell on the shoulders of Mahatma Gandhi to clinch a deal with the British for Independence. It is not only necessary that men should be able to negotiate with others but also they should be able to negotiate with themselves. Some body has truly said “All wars begin in the Human Mind”. Thus, it's time to stay calm, see the tactics for what they are and exercise nerve and patience and tackle the present competitive situation if any organization want to at the top.
