Developing Effective Skills for Leadership, Conflict Resolution, and Team Management
Author
Dr. Mohamed-Ali Ibrahim
Introduction
Successful negotiation requires more than persuasive arguments, strategic offers, or technical knowledge. It also requires the ability to understand emotions, remain composed under pressure, recognize the concerns of others, and build relationships based on trust.
Mastering Emotional Intelligence in Negotiations is a practical guide to using emotional intelligence to improve negotiation, leadership, communication, conflict resolution, and people-management skills. It explains how self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills influence the way people make decisions, respond to pressure, manage disagreements, and reach agreements.
Through practical techniques and real-world case studies, readers learn how to prepare for negotiations, listen actively, manage emotional triggers, build confidence, overcome cultural and interpersonal barriers, and adapt their approach to different negotiation situations.
The book also introduces advanced negotiation tools such as BATNA, ZOPA, anchoring, framing, strategic concessions, distributive negotiation, and integrative negotiation. It shows readers how to combine these methods with emotional intelligence to create fair, sustainable, and mutually beneficial outcomes.
