ERRORS DURING NEGOTIATION

Accepting positions: Assuming the other person won't change their position. 

Accepting statements: Assuming what the other person says is wholly true. 

Cornering them: Giving them no alternative but to fight.


Hurrying: Negotiating in haste (and repenting at leisure).



Hurting the relationship: Getting what you want but making an enemy.


Issue fixation: Getting stuck on one issue and missing greater possibilities.


Missing strengths: Not realizing the strengths that you actually have.


Misunderstanding authority: Assuming that authority and power are synonymous.


Misunderstanding power: Thinking one person has all the power.


One solution: Thinking there is only one possible solution.


Over-wanting: Wanting something too much.

Squeezing too much: Trying to gain every last advantage.


Talking too much: Not gaining the power of information from others.


Thinking in absolutes: Assuming that there are only a few possibilities. 

 Win-lose: Assuming a fixed-pie, win-lose scenario.
