Business negotiation is not easy and we have all been in serious negotiations doing business deals. It is very important to find out what the other person wants so you can help them win without expending too much time or money. Likewise you must ensure that you get what you need to make it worth your while, as well as be confident that the other side can perform. Imagine trying to negotiate with Hezbollah; you know from the start that you cannot trust them and certainly the only thing they're good at performing is terrorism. That is to say kidnapping innocent victims and cutting off their head for television and video opportunities, with the occasional photo up for Time magazine. You also know when negotiating with an international terrorist group like Hezbollah that you might actually become kidnapped yourself and to this makes negotiation a little tough. Because it is hard to talk when squirming, blindfolded and a knife to your neck. It takes all the joy and find out if negotiation. Suffice it to say it is impossible to negotiate with international terrorist organizations. Negotiating with Hezbollah is like moving deck chairs around as the Titanic is sinking. In business negotiation you will meet people that you do not trust and do not wish to do business with, but sometimes you are forced to. Nevertheless if you cannot trust them to perform anything they say or promise should not be taken literally. Without trust in the other party any business negotiation will not work. A better possible negotiation with Hezbollah is to simply let them know that if they do not stop killing innocent people they will be slaughtered along with every single person they associate with. Period! End of negotiation and thank you very much for your time. |
