Like it or not, you are a negotiator. Everyone negotiates something every day. In our world today, the emphasis on innovation requires employees to thrive in an environment where people can feel free to challenge ideas and express alternative perspectives. Agreement, consensus and forward movement is best achieved when our competing ideas can be expressed in a forum of respectful negotiation.
