When most people think of the word 'negotiation,' it evokes thoughts of Sun Tzu's "Art of War," chess, or even bullies in the boardroom. They use zero-sum thinking and operate from a place of scarcity, where if one party gets more, the other automatically gets less. There are clearly defined winners and losers even when they think they may be trying for a win-win scenario. At Venn Negotiation, we find that way of thinking outdated.
