The other day I tried to negotiate with my family and let me tell you, it didn’t go well! We’ve wanted to visit the local science centre for the longest time. 4.1 Tu uzupełnij First, my mum said that she didn’t want to visit at the weekend because that’s when everyone goes, so we’d have to deal with crowds. My dad claimed that tickets at the weekends were more expensive and he became defensive when I told him I could pay the difference. 4.2 Tu uzupełnij Mum had to ask him to calm down before we could continue! Then, my sister said that she didn’t want to go to the science centre at all because it seemed boring. At this point, I got upset and said I could just go with my friends instead. That’s when my brother tried to save the situation. 4.3 Tu uzupełnij Then, he said that there’s a whole room dedicated to space which my sister loves, so she wouldn’t be bored. We almost settled the matter when my mum said that the weather was supposed to be nice on Saturday, so she wanted to go to the beach. That’s when I knew the negotiation was pointless. 4.4 Tu uzupełnij A. He said that we could get a group discount because there were five of us, so we wouldn’t have to worry. B. Still, I can spend some time sunbathing and swimming in the sea, so it’s not all bad! C. The problem was, however, that I didn’t have enough money to pay for us all. D. My goal was to finally make it happen this weekend, but I’ve faced obstacle after obstacle. E. According to him, we could simply not go to the science centre and do something at home. F. He said it was pointless to waste my money like this.

While we may mean well when negotiating, emotions often run high. Do you ever catch yourself getting defensive or even hostile? Do the hostilities ever stop the discussion from proceeding? If so, you might want to think about how you approach other parties. It’s vital to remember that other negotiators want to create a win-win situation as much as you do. You should assume that they don’t want to offend you. With this mindset, it’s easier to find a common ground without getting upset. However, if you do, you should do everything for the emotions to lessen. Take a deep breath, count in your head to ten, or even take a small break if you need it. When you return, all should be well and you can continue negotiating with a clear mind. Drogi Janku, Właśnie przeczytałam ciekawy artykuł dotyczący negocjowania. Autor pyta czytelników, czy zdarza się im być 5.1 Tu uzupełnij, a nawet wrogo nastawionymi podczas dyskusji. W takim przypadku warto pomyśleć, jak podchodzimy do drugiej 5.2 Tu uzupełnij negocjacji.

Jeśli je odczuwasz, weź głęboki oddech, policz do dziesięciu, a nawet zrób sobie krótką przerwę. Dzięki temu będziesz w stanie 5.5 Tu uzupełnij z czystym umysłem.
