Organization: The conflict occurred in my workplace at a previous company, which was a small consulting firm.
The Conflict: After my former employer brought in a new employee, they decided that the manager and employee would have monthly check-in meetings to discuss progress and offer feedback. Unfortunately there was disagreement between the two sides over what to expect and how it should be done after their first meeting.
Pick a side: I focused on my ex-employer’s perspective for this assignment.
Part II – How Was it Negotiated? This page is approximately 1 page long
PN – Principled Negotiation was not used in this case as it is often seen as too complex or time consuming for smaller organizational conflicts such as these. However, if PN had been employed it would have greatly benefited both sides by encouraging cooperation rather than an adversarial approach while allowing them both to develop mutually beneficial solutions that respected each other’s needs. This could have resulted in better communication between them since PN emphasizes listening actively and trying to understand where ones counterpart is coming from before presenting one’s own position on matters being discussed at hand thus promoting trust further down line proving be successful tactic end game .
Principles – While PN wasn’t employed directly in this case there were still aspects of its four main principles utilized during negotiation process such as attempts separate people problem focusing attention facts themselves instead excessive personalization situation further helped emphasize importance win-win solution wanted achieve long run add always recommended accompany dialogues keep open mind listen out others remarks think through issues carefully arrive reaching consensus point but neither party able commit fully doing so result stalemate without anyone winning losing exchanges altogether kept going back forth until finally ultimately dropped subject entirely all due unwillingness move aside respective egos side important thing try resurrect relationship belief give benefit doubt matter what happens outcome signify death sentence harm either involved parts continue relationships pleasantly possible leave room grow both individuals organizations larger scale .
