Do you believe in compromises? Do you also think that a happy relationship is all about tolerance and compromise? Experienced negotiators know that compromise is always a bad outcome of any agreement in the long run. Just imagine what such a compromise would look like if the kidnapper only agreed to half the ransom for half the captives. Then what should he do with the other half of the people? The guest of today's podcast also talked about it, which you can watch in the video below. Everyone is a negotiator You may not realize it, but from a certain point of view, each of us is a negotiator. On average, we negotiate five to seven times a day. When we want to convince the children to keep their room clean, when we want to go to the theater with our partner, when we want to ask the boss for a day off. These are all common situations for each of us, and if we want to achieve our goal in such situations, it is good to learn at least the basics of negotiation and healthy communication. After all, this is also why elite negotiator Radim Pařík came to the Myslením na peak podcast. When a business owner wants to sell his business under the best possible conditions with the help of an experienced negotiator, the phone will most likely ring with Radim Pařík. A graduate of Harvard University's negotiation program, he also underwent training by the American FBI, among other things. He lectures on negotiation techniques at schools and within the Fascinating Academy, he also develops negotiation skills for managers and business owners. One of the biggest mistakes people make before they even get fully into a negotiation is the way they think about the people on the other side of the table. A lot of people see them as adversaries that they have to fight in order to win and get their way. However, in the introduction to his book The Art of Negotiating Anything, Radim explains that this mindset significantly reduces the likelihood of concluding a good agreement. A good negotiator thinks of the other party as a partner with whom one cannot fight, but with whom one can conclude beneficial cooperation. And that's just one of the few thoughts that were voiced in today's interview.
