Read the book “Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement without Giving In” (GTY) by
Fisher, Ury, & Patton, focusing especially on Sections I (The Problem) and II (The
Method).
As you read, reflect on past formal and informal business engagements and your
personal patterns of behavior. Examples of questions that might guide your thinking:
Are you more comfortable in competitive or cooperative settings? Think about

your spontaneous patterns of behavior have been advantageous versus situations
where you were (or would have been) better off choosing an alternative
approach?
Are there settings in which one of your strengths can turn into a weakness?
Are there settings in which your personal weakness could actually be a
situational strength? What makes it a personal strength in that situation?
How do your personal strengths play out in professional interactions (i.e.
negotiations) coordinating task and relationship dimensions of work?
