  • β†’Minimum Acceptable Terms & Alternatives (MATNA)

🎯Interest-Based Bargaining

Look beneath surface demands to find underlying interests. Often you can create mutual gains by trading items of different value.

  • β†’Focus on interests, not positions
  • β†’Generate options for mutual gain

πŸ•ŠοΈDe-escalation & Rapport

Manage emotions and build trust to keep the conversation productive. Small gestures can reset difficult conversations.

  • β†’Active listening and acknowledgment
  • β†’Apology and accountability
  • β†’Future-focused problem solving

πŸ”„Strategic Concessions

Concessions in conflict resolution often cost little but mean a lot. Identify high-value, low-cost concessions to trade.
