Negotiation is a type of discussion used to settle disputes and reach agreements between two or more sides. Negotiation is a process of “give and take” resulting in a compromise where each side makes a concession for the benefit of everyone involved.

There are many situations where you may need to negotiate at work, no matter what your role is. You may be part of negotiations between co-workers, departments or clients. You may negotiate salary, your position, contract terms, project timelines or more. To be a successful negotiator, you need a variety of skills.
