How to achieve something? Negotiation skills?
August 5th, 2016
(1.) Name an example of a personal situation where you had to use your negotiation skills to achieve your goal?
(2.) Name how you achieved a demanding and challenging goal in a job situation?
Thanks a lot for any help!
1: when you kidnapped someone and you were holding them as a ransom and negotiated with the police to get what you wanted.
2: when your boss said you were useless and you proved him wrong and got employee of the month.
cheers.
A little bit more serious please if possible. Thanks a lot again!
Maybe a Web site with some short examples that I can just use?
Well 1 is easy. Negotiating with your parents to stay out later, or stay up longer or whatever.
Can’t help you on #2. But aren’t they asking for personal examples?
1. Something like Kontmoustache said or negotiating yourself out of a potential fight situation.
2. When I was assisting the planning, setup and guiding of the actual event, of a stage with musical acts in a local youththing. The head responsible I was assisting told me all the preperations were in order, before he went on holiday when the actual event was on. As it so happened nothing was prepared nor in order, so I had to make it work in the couple of days I had left. Which I did. It was also one of many events during a youthweek, so I had to work in overdrive to get it all done.
But tbh, like me predecessor said, can’t you find something yourself or in the worst case make something up yourself? It isn’t all that hard…
