Abstract:
The Strategic Preparation Workbook guides students in preparing for a work or life negotiation so that they are more likely to succeed in negotiations. The Workbook outlines a four-part process in preparing for a negotiation and finishes with action planning. The instructor can either teach the Workbook using a case example or by having students fill out the Workbook with their own negotiation examples. Brief videos (- 3 minutes) linked throughout the Workbook provide detailed descriptions of each step in the process and examples of real-life negotiations.
Learning Objective:
This workbook was designed to help individuals prepare strategically for their career negotiations. Core learning objectives include: (a) Broadening users’ perspective of the range of possible career-related negotiations (e.g., role, workload, pay); (b) Helping users recognize and prepare appropriately for three main types of career negotiations (i.e., asking, bending, shaping); (c) coaching users to employ negotiation skills to advance career goals, prepare systematically for negotiation opportunities, and search for mutually beneficial solutions with negotiation counterparts.
