Assignment: Negotiations
Personal Journal
Write a personal reflection paper that reflects on your progress as a negotiator in doing the negotiation tasks. The paper should identify 7 to 9 strengths AND weaknesses (maximum) that you have, and should outline a specific plan for how you plan to continue to capitalize on your strengths and address your weaknesses. (You need not identify an equal number of strengths and weaknesses, but both should be addressed in your paper.)
Include a plan that summarizes a concise, maximum one-page checklist of "Do's and Do Not's."
The report should include the following sections:
1) Introduction: Should include a brief summary of your overall progress as a negotiator, and a summary of your strengths and weaknesses.
2) Strengths: What do you do well as a negotiator? What evidence is there of these strengths? What is the underlying source of that strength (e.g. personality trait, personal experience, etc.)? How will you ensure that you continue to capitalize on each one of your strengths?
3) Weaknesses: What do you do poorly as a negotiator? What evidence is there of these weaknesses? What is the underlying source of that weakness (e.g. personality trait, personal experience, etc.)? How will you ensure that you continue to work to overcome each of your weaknesses?
4) Conclusion: Introduce and explain your checklist. The items in the checklist must be clear and specific. Try not to have too many items in total (i.e. more than eight) or too few (i.e. fewer than four).
