Day 2 of class--Sunday

Thanks goes out to our speaker on interest-based bargaining. This method makes so much more sense, however, I can defintely see why and how it could seem more laborious to some people and maybe even less satisfying IF the people involved just like the "haggling" of bargaining/negotiating. Interest-based bargaining has a much more "problem-solving" feel to it which helps not only groups get the best outcome, but one that is probably more long-term satisfying for both parties. Honesty and trust are key factors in this method, though. If either party doesn't trust the other, it would be very hard to start off "laying all the cards on the table." But . . .I do like that it gets passed the "game playing." I could really see myself looking into using this method in the future--but I would defintely want both parties to have a total buy-in before getting started and plenty of training.
