The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Saturday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 16 April 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Negotiation Day!” Why Not?
“Negotiating skills are and will be an important part of leadership. Be the teacher and mentor when it comes to negotiating techniques. Leaders must make difficult decisions on a regular and sometimes uncomfortable basis. When it comes to taking or reallocating resources, spending, or saving money, conducting, or not conducting training, and making key personnel moves it’s important to negotiate with certain parties within the organization for the ‘give and take’ to achieve a win-win outcome that both parties can live with. Remember to never make the first offer, knowledge is power in the negotiation, discover a solution that is good for both parties, and always know when to stop negotiating when the deal is closed!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Great article on what the Bible says about negotiations Gene. See you tonight brother.
