Use Creativity to Break Through Impasse When Negotiating

When the emotions of both parties are controlled, you can brainstorm together for feasible solutions to your deadlock. It takes someone to cease and say, "We are so close, is not there something they can do or think of that will get to where they need to go?" Then agree to brainstorm ideas. They key to successful brainstorming is to dump as lots of ideas onto the table as feasible, without judgment or categorization. In the event you criticize an idea as dull, daft, or unworkable, it may shutdown future ideas. Who wishes to continue providing feasible solutions when someone laughs or comes back with, "That will seldom work."

Before it is possible for you to to get creative and brainstorm possibilities and solutions, you'll must control your emotions. I agree with John Patrick Dolan when he says you have the right to your feelings, but you need to make positive that exercising that right is not going to cost you over it is worth. And he is right on the money when he says, "The important thing to keep in mind is that getting emotional over an issue you are negotiating, or the way someone is acting, is not a nice suggestion." Yes, this is harder than it sounds sometimes. It is simple to get emotionally involved when bargaining over critical issues. But in the event you can keep in mind to cease and ask yourself if it is worth it when you sense your emotions or ego is getting in the way of negotiations, you will much more successful in making deals. The best negotiators focus on the benefits of the deal or agreement. They don't dwell on hurt or negative feelings.

Nor would you like to do the opposite and judge ideas as great, or outstanding. While you might think it a compliment, it can recommend that earlier ideas were inferior. More ideas will be generated when the parties refrain from judging any idea, nice or bad. In the event you need to say something, say something neutral such as, "that's an idea, what else can they think of?"

Don't compliment or condemn, get the ideas out and keep them flowing. Go for volume, and you'll have more feasible solutions to pick from. This increases the chance that an ideal solution will be found among the ideas on the table.

It is much simpler to discover creative solutions when you explore ways to satisfy both parties' interests. Impasses will disappear and negotiations will progress when brainstorming uncovers unexpected ways that all parties can get what they need.
