Negotiation Basics • In a conflict situation or negotiation, positions are taken and stated in the form of demands. • Positions are based on unexpressed interest. • Interests are the needs, concerns, and values that motivate each person. • People take positions because they want their interests satisfied. • "Position" represents what the person wants; "interest" represents why he/she wants it. • Get to interests by probing into “why” something is wanted then listen closely. � 2009.
