The CEO of your company was recently fired because of financial and legal irregularities that threw the company into a dire situation where its very existence is in jeopardy. At the initial meeting each search committee explores the nature of leadership and reaches consensus on what kind of leader the company needs to survive and reports its findings to the full board. (Please define the problem in your own analysis… I provided this problem as an example…)

Objective

Utilizing the 10 BEST PRACTICES in NEGOTIATIONS provide an analysis and a strategic solution to negotiate the future of the CEO. Present the negotiating document to the full board of directors utilizing the following practices;

  1. Be Prepared
  2. Diagnose the fundamental structure of the negotiation
  3. Identify and work with BATNA
  4. Be willing to walk away
  5. Master the key paradoxes of negotiation
  6. Remember the Intangibles
  7. Actively manage coalitions- Those against you, for you, and unknown
  8. Savor and protect your reputation
  9. Remember that rationality and fairness are relative
  10. Continue to learn from your experience 

Points of Evaluation:

• Effective leadership, rather than being a personal quality that resides in special individuals, is vitally dependent on the context of the organization, its particular needs at a given moment, and whether its leaders have the skills to meet those needs

 • Negotiation is a crucially important skill for any leader. How leaders negotiate determines in large measure their ability to achieve organizational objectives.

 • Effective organizational leadership requires skill at conducting multilateral negotiations and effective coalition building.

Guidelines

In developing your Negotiation document, try to demonstrate clarity of thinking, understanding, and application of Best Practices in Negotiations, and creative --- but realistic -- use of its tools. Explorations of your options and choices are an important part of demonstration of your mastery of negotiation. There is seldom only one potential course of action in developing a Negotiation Plan; demonstrate that you have considered options and alternatives at each step in your plan and have chosen the best.

This assignment gives you the opportunity to practice developing an integral use of negotiation strategy for a given problem, solution, mediation, proposal, or business venture to make the course come alive through application of the principles and use of the tools presented. It also helps you develop stronger business-oriented written proposal communication expertise. The development of this negotiation plan is an on-going and integral part of the course.
