    Negotiating - Part 1, gives an overview of the interest-based negotiation model by Fisher, Ury & Patton.  It starts with preparation, including knowing alternatives so that one is not too soft or too hard, knowing how to separate people from the problem, staying firm on interests but flexible on positions, and engaging in brainstorming options for mutual gain.
      
    Negotiating - Part 2 explains the one other principle:  Use objective criteria.  That is when negotiators differ on their idea of fairness, or truth, rather than have a subjective argument they rely on more objective sources.
    Daryl welcomes your thoughts and feedback.

  • Is An Advisory Board A Good Idea For Small Businesses?
    An advisory board is an informal version of a board of directors chosen by the owners.  It has no authority, it just offers assistance as requested.  There is some debate on the value of advisory boards, but not on the value of advisors.  So founders could just seek individual advisors.  That’s a good first step, to test which advisors you respect and work with best, and who are available to you.
