Organizations make many strategic and tactical business decisions daily. Every person makes life-changing decisions about their careers, education, buying a home/car, investments, retirement, and so on. Our lives revolve around knowing what we want, which is decision-making, and getting what we want, which requires negotiating. Moreover, every action is a decision, and every interaction is a negotiation. In life, you don't get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate. In this enlightening presentation, you will learn approaches to decision-making and negotiating that are foundational to building your leadership capabilities and will help you get what you want!
OBJECTIVES
- Discuss the fundamentals that govern decision-making.
