The drawbacks of positional bargaining
1. It misses out an opportunity of better solutions;
Example: Why do you want the orange?
2. Its context encourages lying and deception;
3. Damages relationships;
4. It usually results in a Win-Lose and misses the Win-
Win;

BUT: We still use it!
Why??
1. Requires very little planning;
2. Very Convenient;
3. It works, It delivers results;
4. It is a learned behavior;
5. It can be applied to any situation.

The four basics of the human angle: (Perception, emotions, communication, and authority)
Perceptions
1. Understand that people may have different perceptions of the same reality.
2. For people, their perceptions are their reality and they will act accordingly.
3. The better you understand yours and the other party’s perceptions, the better you can negotiate.
![Page 19: Negotiation Harvard Style](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547cc9beb479599d508b47aa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Steps to understand the other party’s perceptions
1. Put yourself in their shoes;
2. Identify possible perceptions and check if they believe in one of them.
3. Listen very carefully.
4. Discuss each other’s perceptions.
5. In the event of negative perception about you, act inconsistently with their perceptions.
