Based on hundreds of real-world cases and experimental findings, CBI's Mutual Gains Approach to negotiation (MGA) involves four steps for negotiating better outcomes while protecting relationships and reputation. The vast majority of negotiations, this model holds, involve parties with more than one concern and more than one issue that an agreement might address. It's not the same as “Win-Win." It does not focus on just being nice. Rather, the Mutual Gains Approach emphasizes careful analysis and good process management. Read about it at our site: https://lnkd.in/eTXecGrJ
