Silence

Adapting Strategies

Negotiating Styles

- Cooperative/Collaborative: Maximize individual gain while considering shared interests (pressure, assertiveness, sometimes manipulation to achieve favorable terms)
- Compromising: Find a middle ground through concessions from both parties.
- Emotionally Driven: Leverage emotions and personal connections to influence the outcome (appeal to emotions, build rapport, use intuition).
- Avoidant: Dodge confrontation when preserving relationships is a priority (postpone discussions, avoid taking a stance, delegate authority).

- Ethical: Prioritize ethical considerations, fairness, upholding principles, transparency, and seeking morally sound solutions.
