TEAM BUILDING
A couple of many articles
on the field of management. However frugal in terms of content it is
presented in outline format and therein resides its convenience.
By Warren Bennis, and others (Training magazine)
Every individual can anticipate
some consequences of the interaction of ideas. If this happens with
a purpose, for the transformation of situations, events, relationships, structures,
etc. might be called called negotiation. Negotiation theories are developed within the
context of conflict resolution methods. That is if we consider that the
best method to deal with conflict is preventing it. Anticipation of
eventual disputes compels practitioners of this disciplines to implement
prudent, serious and efficient processes of negotiation, promoting
concessions and satisfaction of most participant's needs.
LEARNING HOW TO BETTER NEGOTIATE IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU
This is
particularly true in the area of legal practice. Lawyers and counselors
that prepare negotiations for the specific needs of the client, and draft
the contracts accordingly, are less likely to encounter
conflicts during the performance stage.
Other academic disciplines can also
benefit from courses on conciliatory attitudes and tolerance. It is the
case of all the social sciences (international relations, social work,
education, public relations, political sciences), and humanities
(philosophy, sociology, etc).
Nobody enters into agreements in order not to comply with them but chances are that compliance will occur if the parties have been participating of the negotiation, and feel that the result will benefit all persons involved in a fair manner. The sense of fairness is what we want to create regardless the status, culture, position, profession, gender, race, or background of the participants. This requires a well designed and professionally conducted process and a method. A method will serve objectivity. It will promote understanding on the basis of objective criteria.

ETHICS ETHICS are not a question of morality but rather practicality. They are not a concern of philosophers but the interest of the common man, the one that wants to act with integrity. The rules to follow are so natural to recognize that they come together with common sense. Integrity is a human being's worth Here a section on this matter will be added soon. It has been inspired on the lessons learned from my family, appreciated professors, friends and even students acting with remarkable dignity or conversely: with unashamed mediocrity. Teaching is an invaluable learning experience. |
