Negotiator Expert?
Hmmm…I just completed a course on negotiation skills but I don’t feel like I’ve learnt a lot since the trainer said that we used negotiation skills all the time. It’s just that we don’t realize it. Kinda stupid aren’t all of us?
He begun by explaining the definition and the different kinds of outcomes that results from it. The thing that attracted me the most was that one of the outcome was compromise. Giving in to other people’s needs. On top of that, both parties must do the same. In our unfair world today, compromise is always meant for only one side of the party to give in. Isn’t it an ironic meaning to use for such a perfect outcome? I mean if compromise means BOTH party must give up something, shouldn’t it be reflected in the real world also?
Another one that I realize is that the trainer doesn’t seem to read what he gives out during class. He assumed that the assignment he gave is the same as what he knows. Oh well, I guess he has had SO many experiences that he forgot to focus on certain small details. The whole class was in a daze when he started to refer to an entirely different outcome as what is written in the assignment. Nobody is perfect even for an expensive trainer. I heard that trainers like him get paid like around RM200 an hour. And all he has to do is talk. Even if it’s crap, no-one would know since the people he trains are either dumb or unknowledgeable about the stuff he’s teaching.
Now all I can think is what can I teach to others that is worth RM200 an hour. Any ideas?
