Author(s): Laura Hansen-Kohls, Rebecca Hoke

Negotiation teams must be carefully managed in order to maximize the success of the negotiation process.

  • Document any rule breaches that may have occurred.

This tool assumes that a face-to-face negotiation is taking place, but can be amended to focus on telecommunications-based negotiations.
