The Art of Influence and Negotiation, The MBA Women's Guide to Success, Characteristics of Great Leaders from Today's Top Executives and Experts, J. Todd Rhoad and Women MBA International, October 20, 2012.
Exploring the art of influence and negotiation is necessary and empowering for all women. Negotiation skills are valuable in business, in the community and at home. The rules of successful negotiation are the same for men and women. However, when women negotiate gender, individualism and personality are reflected in the process. Culture also determines negotiation style and acceptable norms of behavior. It is vital to appreciate the culture of different nations, organizations and people. Developing negotiation skills can result in increased happiness and rewards in your career, relationships, and finances. Women that know how to negotiate offer an exceptional capacity to obtain successful results by using their feminine nature integrated with the inflexible rules of negotiation.
