Key Notes from Today Session:
An impasse is a situation in which no progress can be made or no
advancement is possible, especially because the people involved cannot agree.
It can also refer to a deadlock or stalemate.
When an impasse is reached, it is important for the parties to take a step back
and assess the situation. They should try to identify the root cause of the
impasse and develop strategies for overcoming it. This may involve:
If the parties are unable to resolve the impasse on their own, they may need to
seek outside help from a mediator or arbitrator. A mediator is a neutral third
party who helps the parties to communicate and reach a mutually agreeable
solution. An arbitrator is a neutral third party who makes a binding decision
on the issue.
It is important to note that not all impasses can be resolved. There are some
situations in which the parties are simply incompatible and will never be able
to reach an agreement. In these cases, it may be necessary to end the
negotiation or to agree to disagree.
Take a break from negotiations and come back with a fresh perspective
Seek the help of a mediator or arbitrator
Be willing to compromise
Focus on the long-term relationship rather than the short-term gain
BATNA stands for Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement. It is the
best outcome that you can achieve outside of negotiation. For example, if
you are negotiating the sale of your house, your BATNA might be to keep
the house and sell it yourself.
WATNA stands for Worst Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement. It is
the worst outcome that you can accept in negotiation. For example, if
you are negotiating the sale of your house, your WATNA might be to
accept a price that is significantly lower than what you are asking for.
MLATNA stands for Most Likely Alternative to a Negotiated
Agreement. It is the outcome that you think is most likely to occur if you
do not reach an agreement in negotiation. For example, if you are
negotiating the sale of your house, your MLATNA might be to sell the
house for a price that is slightly lower than your asking price.
Understanding your BATNA, WATNA, and MLATNA can help you to prepare
for negotiation and to make informed decisions.
Exercise:
Imagine that you are negotiating a salary for a new job. You have been offered
a salary of $50,000 per year. Your BATNA is to take a different job that pays
$45,000 per year. Your WATNA is to accept the $50,000 per year salary offer.
Your MLATNA is to negotiate a salary of $55,000 per year.
