detailed summary:
In this episode of the podcast "Gut durch die Zeit", I invite Jörg Schneider-Brodtmann to explore the exciting world of negotiations and negotiation management with me. We discuss the essential The role of negotiation in every mediation processwhich is often overlooked. Although a mediator is not directly involved in the conflict negotiation, an understanding of negotiation psychology and methods is essential in order to be able to offer effective mediation.
We start with the question of what negotiation means to us and that negotiation is part of our everyday lives. Whether at lunch, in the supermarket or in more formal contexts, we negotiate all the time, often without realising it. In organisations in particular, negotiation is a common method of conflict resolution before legal action or mediation. Most conflicts in business are resolved through negotiation in the first place, and yet not enough attention is paid to the issue.
Jörg and I also look at the differences between formal and informal negotiations and the role of power relations in negotiations. Whilst we discuss many aspects of negotiation theory, we also look at the psychology of negotiation. We will reflect on different negotiation styles and the importance of personality and attitude in the negotiation process. Interesting examples from everyday life will illustrate how complex negotiations are and how they can be influenced by various factors.
A key topic that we would like to explore further in future episodes is the question of how mediators can support the negotiation process. I emphasise the need to know negotiation tactics in order to be able to address them, while also analysing the dynamics between mediator and conflict parties. We plan to cover negotiation techniques, biases in negotiation and many other topics in the coming episodes to provide a comprehensive insight into the world of negotiation and its relevance to mediation.
In addition, we will also look at the impact of gender differences in negotiations, as it becomes clear that the context and framework conditions are different for women and men. Again, it will be important to look at different perspectives and understand how different negotiation styles and strategies work. Our aim in this new series is to cover a wide range of topics to capture the complexity and dynamics of negotiation and how they can be integrated into mediation.
With this prelude, we begin an exciting journey into the world of negotiation techniques and their connection to mediation and conflict counselling. I look forward to creating the next episodes together with Jörg Schneider-Brodtmann and to hearing your feedback and suggestions!
