My Discussion - Negotiation

In the role play, I took Brian role while Jon role was played by my friend ken. The process of negation comprises illustrating the best possible outcome, the objective of negotiation, and the concessions. During the negation, there are some of the strategies applied. Therefore there was a need to analyze and question various assumptions related to Jon before beginning the negation process. Having developed the negation preparation worksheet to be used during the negotiation. The key aim was to have a workplace that is considered to be productive and conducive for us. My BATNA incorporated a mediator that would oversee the negotiation process to help resolve the issues between Jon and me. The consists that I was willing to be to consider working while the door was open. On the other hand, Jon preferred working while the door was closed, spreading a lot of things in his working table while speaking to the pass by.

The meeting did not go well as it was anticipated that both of us were unwilling to give in to each other and work toward finding a common solution. We wasted a lot of time pinpointing the fault of each other. Therefore, there was a need for a mediator to intervene and help resolve the problem between Jon and me due to the competitiveness. Jon was unwilling to give since he perceived that his behaviour was less annoying to anyone. As a result, I realized that approach that I was using to resolve the conflict was not bearing any fruit (Väyrynen, 2019). Therefore, there was aneed to use a different approach that could have helped resolve the conflict. Some of the most effective approaches used to resolve disputes and conflict include the collabrataive approach followed by accommodative and then avoidance. The effective approach that I prefer is the use of collaboration. In this case, Jon was not accommodative. Therefore, there was a need to seek a mediator who could have helped us resolve the issue.

The mediator played a key role in helping us to resolve the conflict between us since he gave each person to talk and experience themselves (Thomson et al., 2018). At the same time, they prefer working the way they like, and after some time, each person understood the other, and therefore each person tried to understand one another, which play a key role in resolving the conflict.

If am to do it again. I think the most important thing will be to act politely and inform Jon I don’t like the way he operates the offices and ask him if he can adjust himself. At the same time want to ensure why joh like working under certain conditions. By being polite, it will be easy to resolve most of the conflicts in the workplace.
