The Fisher and Ury Method

The Fisher and Ury Method, also known as principled negotiation, is a strategy for resolving conflicts amicably. It encourages focusing on the underlying interests behind each person's position, rather than just their demands. The goal is to find a solution that satisfies both parties, often through collaboration and open communication. Key principles include separating people from the problem, focusing on interests instead of positions, generating options for mutual gain, and using objective criteria to evaluate choices. This approach aims to reach fair, sustainable agreements without hostility, promoting understanding and cooperation.
