Become a Better Negotiator: Getting Past NoMBA ASAP
A generation ago decisions were made hierarchically
People at the top gave the orders and the people on the bottom simply followed them.
That is changing: in family, work, politics negotiation is becoming the preeminent form of decision making.
The direction of one's life and influence is becoming more participatory.
This document provides strategies for overcoming positional bargaining when negotiating. It discusses three approaches: focusing on what you can do through principled negotiations, focusing on what the other side can do using negotiation jujitsu techniques, and focusing on what a third party like a mediator can do using a one-text mediation procedure. The one-text procedure involves a mediator drafting a single text that both sides jointly comment on to reconcile their interests without abandoning their original positions. The overall message is that changing your negotiation approach and engaging the other side differently can help overcome positional stalemates.

1. Positional bargaining may make sense if the issues are not complex, maintaining relationships is not important, and the parties do not expect principled negotiation. It is generally better later in negotiations after identifying interests.
2. When parties have different fairness standards, it is better to consider multiple standards and focus on those most relevant and widely accepted, rather than taking arbitrary positions. Using external standards and fair procedures can help resolve differences.
3. One should consider carefully before taking more than seems fair, as it could damage the relationship and reputation. Any unfair advantage may not last if seen as unjust by the other party.

1. Negotiating is the art of reaching an agreement by resolving differences through creativity. Our ability to negotiate begins from an early age when we interact with others.
2. There are different styles of negotiating - quick style aims for the best deal without regard for the other side, while deliberate style prioritizes relationship building for long-term agreements.
3. The possible outcomes of negotiating are realistic (win-win), acceptable (something is better than nothing), or worst (too stubborn to compromise). Predetermining desired outcomes can help achieve a better result.

Strategic Thinking for Competitive AdvantageMBA ASAP
Leaders, similar to great athletes, must simultaneously play the game and observe it as a whole.
Keep perspective and see the big picture – not get lost in the action.
“All enterprises or projects, big or small, begin in the mind's eye; they begin with imagination and with the belief that what is merely an image can one day be made real.”
Vision and a sense of the future
Strategic thinking requires a mindset – a way of thinking or intellectual process that
accepts change,
analyzes the causes and outcomes of change,
attempts to direct an organization's future to capitalize on the changes.
From the Greek στρατηγία stratēgia, "art of troop leader; generalship"
Strategy is a high-level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty and limited resources.
A comprehensive way to try to pursue political ends, including the threat or actual use of force, in a dialectic of wills in a military conflict, in which both adversaries interact.
Strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited. Strategy generally involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions. A strategy describes how the ends (goals) will be achieved by the means (resources). Strategy can be intended or can emerge as a pattern of activity as the organization adapts to its environment or competes. It involves activities such as strategic planning and strategic thinking.
A device such as a word or a logo can only be considered a trademark or a service mark if it is distinctive. A distinctive word or logo is one that is capable of distinguishing the goods or services upon which it is used from the goods or services of others. A non-distinctive device is one that merely describes or names a characteristic or quality of the goods or services.
There is a spectrum of trademarks based on their strength. Devices that are fanciful, arbitrary, or suggestive are considered distinctive enough to function as trademarks.
A work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a manuscript or a design, to which one has rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
A generic trademark, also known as a genericized trademark or proprietary eponym, is a trademark or brand name that, due to its popularity or significance, has become the generic name for, or synonymous with, a general class of product or service, usually against the intentions of the trademark's holder. The process of a product's name becoming genericized is known as genericide.

Economic activity relies on group agreement relative to the value of assets and their prices. When prices rise, people tend to get excited and buy more, bidding prices higher. This is called speculation or irrational exuberance. Values can only defy gravity for so long and when folks begin to realize assets may be over-priced, panic selling brings it all crashing down. Pop.
The crash which usually follows an economic bubble can destroy a large amount of wealth and cause continuing economic malaise.
Here are some of the more infamous bubble bursting events and “adjustments” that have occurred since the industrial revolution and our thinking about economics began.
This ties the earlier threads together and goes on a deeper dive into some of the challenges and issues facing managers and leaders. Now its your turn...
m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

While agile has entered the post-mainstream age, possibly losing its mojo along the way, the rise of remote working is dealing a more severe blow than its industrialization.
In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.
Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
2. What is Negotiation?
• Negotiation is a
continuing problem
solving process. It’s
getting people with
both common and
conflicting interest
to come together to
arrange or adjust
their future
relationship by
making a joint
decision.
8. Communication
• Listening
• Being Explicit, candid,
honest and
forthcoming.
• Understanding
• Repeat what you think
you heard and
understood.
• Get confirmation
11. Empathy
• Understand that the
other person does
not really care how
the outcome of the
negotiation affects
you.
• The other person
only cares about
how it affects him or
her and their side.
13. Be Kind
• Be kind to people
and hard on
issues. Separate
people from the
problems and
solutions.
• There’s only one
rule I know of: you
have to be kind.
– Kurt Vonegut
• Ad Hominem
14. It is a Small World
• Negotiate with
integrity. Your
career will depend
on it.
15. Make Bridges
• Don’t burn bridges.
This is especially
true if there is a
chance you’ll be
negotiating with
this same person
or company again
in the future.
18. Preparation Refocus
Before starting…
• craft a simple
statement you can
use to explain the
goal of the
negotiations.
Something you can
use over and over
during the
negotiations to
refocus the players.
19. Example
• Something like,
“My client is
interested in
buying the house
and your clients
are interested in
selling the house.
What can we do to
get this deal
done?”
20. What is your bottom line?
Before starting, know…
• your ultimate goal
• what you can waive or
modify
• what you can give away
without any issues.
• What is unacceptable
21. Alternatives
• Let us never negotiate
out of fear, but let us
never fear to negotiate.
– JFK
• BATNA: Best Alternative
to a Negotiated
Agreement.
23. Start
• Start your
negotiation with a
point on which you
both agree:
• Mutual benefit of a
successful
negotiation (both
want a resolution)
and
• Things or issues you
each have in
common.
24. Show interest
• Get Involved- Take
your time and
Take notes. The
other side will
appreciate you
taking the time to
write things down
(even if you really
don’t need to).
25. Emotional Distance
• Treat negotiations
like a game. Come
across as caring
about the
outcome, but not
that much.
• (We will talk about
applications of
Game Theory too.)
26. Don’t be Reactionary
• Deflect, reflect and
then select.
• Before responding,
learn how to take
time and let
something bounce
off you, reflect and
think about it, and
then select your
response.
• “Go to the balcony”
27. Empathy and Understanding
• Tap into the other
person’s belief
system. In all
negotiations there
are generally three
truths: your truth,
the other person’s
truth, and the
actual truth.
28. Listen
• Listen 70% of the
time and talk 30%
of the time.
• Two ears and one
mouth. 2 to 1
ratio. : )
• Acknowledge the
other person’s ego.
29. Authenticity
• Set the proper frame.
Smile and make a good
first impression. Be
honest and real.
• Don’t be cynical in
applying these
suggestions. You really
need to care about the
other party.
30.
31. Keep talking
• Communicate with tact
and empathy.
• Keep the other side
talking. Ask open-ended
questions. “What do you
mean by that?”
• Maintain engagement
and de-escalate
• Be inquisitive: you are
searching for information
and common ground
32.
33. Reflect on this
• Two of the best
negotiators are
dogs and babies.
– Relentless
– Sustained
– Persistent
– Constant
34. SWOT
• Understand your
strengths and
weaknesses and
also the other
side’s strengths
and weaknesses.
• Also evaluate
Opportunities and
Threats
35.
36.
37. Sell
• Share you position
via story telling.
• Remember: facts
tell but stories
sell.
38. Options and Alternatives
• Don’t fall in to the
trap of the
either/or
dichotomy. It’s
never only A or B.
There’s always C,
D and E.
• Open it up and be
creative, don’t
think binary.
40. Eye to Eye
• Negotiate in person
when possible. Over
the phone is OK. In
most instances,
Avoid negotiating by
email.
• 70% of all
communication
comes from body
language,
expressions and eye
contact.
41. Avoid getting Boxed In
• On major issues,
never negotiate for
yourself. Use a
third party.
• Do not include
person with
authority directly in
the negotiations.
Keep option open,
“I need to run that
by my partner…”
42. Authority to make a Decision
• along the same
lines, do not agree
to negotiate with
the other person
unless he or she
has full authority.
43. Acknowledge, Empathize, Redirect
• Never tell the other
side they are
wrong. Instead
use this, “I know
how you feel. I
use to feel the
same way. But
then I found out
about AAA and
now I feel BBB.”
44. Create a sense of Urgency
• When making
offers, use time
sensitive deadlines
and mean it.
• Credibility not
threats.
45. Strategic Respect
• Always leave a
“back door” or
“exit strategy” for
the other person.
Allow him or her to
save face and
avoid
embarrassment
(especially in front
of a client).
46. Close the Deal
• When the time is
right, never be
afraid to Close the
deal. Ask for the
sale or ultimate
desired outcome.
• Prepare documents
and contracts ASAP
47. Signed, Sealed, Delivered
• Avoid buyer
remorse.
• If documents are
necessary, have
them ready to go
and don’t leave
until they are
signed and all
terms are properly
confirmed.
48. Success
• Both parties relatively
satisfied.
• Leave some on the
table.
• Don’t crush the other
side. You may need
information or a follow
on favor.
