In today's lesson, we learned about are negotiation styles. So, I would like to share my styles of negotiations and my thought through that.
But before that, I'll make a brief summary of the five negotiation styles.
The competing style: focuses on self-interest or substantive outcome, generally at the expense of the other party and the relationship. win-lose
The accommodating style: opposite to the competing style. To be concerned with preserving the relationship, even if it means giving up substantive outcome.
The collaborating style: involves exploring individual and mutual interests in an effort to satisfy everyone's needs. win-win outcomes are possible.
The avoiding style: to avoid not only issues but also the other party and negotiation itself.
The compromising style: to get some of what you want but not everything. partial-win, partial-lose.
My scores was in this order
competing (23) → compromising (22)→ collaborating (20)→ avoiding (19)→ accommodating (16)
I was surprised that none of the scores were extremely high or low. And that the result were really close to my thoughts and the way of negotiating.
I especially take the competing style when the negotiating is about myself and want I really want. I mainly think about myself, not about others and try to win. But after the lectures of negotiation skills, I have learned that there are a way to make the negotiation partial-win and partial lose. I also noticed that I usually use this style. Perhaps saying, "as I will do this, you will have to do this", since I can still get some things what I want. Collaborating styles is what I have to improve. To make a win-win outcome, I've learned the importance to share information, and give things which I don't need and get things the other don't need. Also, I would use avoiding styles when I have realized that the other party is tough, takes a lot of time and that negotiating will be no use.
I think it is necessary to have the ability to decide whether to avoid this negotiation or not.
The most lowest score was accommodating styles. Thinking about myself, I might have never thought about preserving relationship when negotiating as it is the opposite of competing. But through this questionnaire, I have noticed about this style and I would try to do my best to improve this.
Not only competing and compromising, I would like to try some other negotiation styles and I want to be a person who can use the best styles which matches the situations.
