Leaders and managers often think that negotiation skills training is only important for those who are directly exposed, such as teams and power negotiators in the organisation.
The reality is that no matter where in the organisation we are, we are negotiating on a daily basis to complete our work. Developing practical negotiation skills in leaders and managers as well as team members is the key to success for any organisation.
These skills teach you to focus on both the result and the relationship in any negotiation, deliberation or discussion. That’s why negotiation skills are crucial to create greater value for any organisation.
Here is what you and your team can expect to learn from the first step on EIPA’s negotiation training path:

The objective of this two-day seminar is to make participants aware of the essential skills and techniques in negotiations. Several simulation exercises expose participants to various situations of negotiation.
