Principled Negotiation

Principled Negotiation is a method for resolving disagreements that focuses on fairness and mutual benefit. Instead of competing or making concessions, it emphasizes three key steps: separating people from problems, focusing on interests rather than positions, and generating options that satisfy both parties. It encourages objective criteria and open communication, aiming to reach agreements that are fair and sustainable for everyone involved. This approach helps build understanding, maintain relationships, and achieve solutions that feel just to all parties.
