Well gassa,
from this piece bellow, teaches us how business is related to our daily
lives. However, being a good negotiator, qualifies one as a perfect team
co.orditor. If we want to work as a team, we need to prepare for difficult
negotiations to a win win situation not win lose situation. That is by
saying, what you want is that what should be agreed upon.
The Gambia communities should cast aside the old approach towards solving
her problems. such as been so negative and difficult to comprehend by thing
one's suggestion is the only viable one everyone have to buy. We failed to
realised that not everyone is equally intrested on everything for his/ her
money.Back in the childhood day, our old men are always right but that era
does not exist anymore. A definite spirit to our goal and awareness of
ourselves as a group with common and potential stregth should begin to
manifest in many ways. On many an occasions, I found the variuos western
organizations whose ideas is reflicting to our searching for selfawareness,
not only ready to support but also eager to join in directing the thinking
of nationalism. At this stage of our national organizations, the most
logical step is to discuss and search for obsticles that are hampering our
unity as one people toward a goal. Is it neportism, tribalism or greed? how
can we overcome those obsticles? what strategies should the leaders of
different organization use etc?
concentration should however, base on ourselves as a group and put our
forces together to fighting to restore the confedence of our people in
oneness. One striking feature will be a step decline in the intensity of the
morality arguments. common knowledge is gain from team performances of the
task and the outcome is achieved when the team explores into the
relationship between action and outcome.
The Idea that Gambians can participate as equal partners in an open
organization is in question? Therefore, people should realised that a lot of
time is wasting and is high time to build our society for the future
generation.

Whether it's buying or selling, dealing with customers or employees,
business owners have to negotiate virtually every day. Yet many may not view
it as a separate skill, such as bookkeeping or time-management. Successful
negotiating is both a science and an art, and central to your success.
Therefore it makes sense to brush up your skills.
Most negotiating is applied common sense, yet there are many mistakes people
make. The most common is greed: starting out with the attitude that you are
going to get everything you want, and that's that. Another pitfall is
getting too emotional about what should be a dispassionate business deal.
You should focus on what you want out of the deal, and shouldn't let
yourself be distracted by what you feel about the person you are negotiating
with.
This is the nub of negotiating. It is a form of communication, close to
persuasion, but aimed at a realistic outcome. The process will only work if
both parties want it to. This means coming to some kind of agreement that
satisfies all involved.
Another very common mistake is not to negotiate at all. For instance, if you
are dissatisfied with the service you are getting from a supplier, it may be
tempting to ring them up and berate them. While this may be emotionally
satisfying in the short run, all you have done is generate a row. It is
unlikely that you will come to some new understanding with your supplier
that leads to what you really want, a better service.
Far better if you had rung up, described your concerns and then asked: "What
can you do about this?" The result might not have been much better – but
then it might have been a lot better. You don't know until you try. Not
starting a negotiation at all is the worst option.
The good news is that negotiating is one of the most carefully studied
business skills. There is plenty of help at hand. There are some highly
entertaining books on the theory, such as Everything is Negotiable by Gavin
Kennedy (Arrow Books), or Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury
(Century Hutchinson). As for the practice, there is the inimitable Video
Arts company, the outfit founded by John Cleese and colleagues, which has
produced some of the funniest and most effective training films I have ever
seen. (Video Arts, Dumbarton House, 68 Oxford Street, London W1D 1LH;
