Quarterly Lunch and Learn
Exploring the 3rd Alternative in Negotiation
Date: Sep 24, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Location: Virtual
Speaker: Ed Lively
In “hard” negotiation, negotiators tend to lock themselves into positions. There is a successive taking and giving up, with more attention paid to the positions than the outcome itself. This creates a win/lose scenario. “Soft” negotiation, on the other hand, emphasizes maintaining the
relationship between the two parties over achieving victory over the other. This also creates a win/lose scenario.
In this one-hour webinar, you will explore Stephen Covey’s “3rd Alternative,” which goes beyond simply unmasking the needs of the other party to create a win/win outcome; it involves a paradigm shift wherein opposing parties use synergy to transcend a conflict and create something new.
