You visit an annual animal exhibition and come across a unique competition.
It is a competition wherein an ox is selected and put on display. The people including animal experts place bets on the estimated weight of the ox. The best guess would win the prize. Approximately eight hundred people participate in the competition.
If you are provided all the responses and now asked to take a guess, what will be your strategy for best guess?

Negotiation is an important life skill

We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.

If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.

“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
