As physicians complete training, they are often ill-equipped and not formally trained to negotiate their first contracts let alone high stakes matters as leaders in their respective domains. In fact, negotiation encompasses so many facets of a physician’s job including daily encounters with consultants, trainees, peers. This becomes even more paramount as one takes on leadership roles as directors of initiatives, programs, divisions, and research collaboratives. During this session we will use Harvard Business School Program on Negotiation cases to highlight each individual’s inherent instinctual negotiation habits and contributors to these habits. Participants will then be introduced to Roger Fisher’s principled negotiation framework and Neale and Lys’ “Getting (More of) What you Want” framework. Through case review, virtual role play, facilitated discussion, and interactive group discussion, participants will practice applying these frameworks. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to define their personal reservation points, aspiration points, and “walk away” points and make plans on how to improve their personal negotiation skills.
