Negotiating to Advance Your Interests

I found an excellent article in the Negotiation newsletter that I wanted to share with you on the topic of "women negotiators." (See my March 13, 2009 post for information concerning the EpsteinBeckerGreen Women's Initiative networking event on this topic.) The article, What happens when women don't ask, focuses on the pitfalls that women encounter when they try to negotiate -- or fail to negotiate -- to advance their interests. The article also provides advice on how women should ask for what they need without creating a backlash. You can access a copy of the article HERE.

Negotiation is a monthly newsletter published by the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, and for more information, please visit: www.pon.harvard.edu. The Program on Negotiation home page features more information about the Negotiation newsletter and offers a complimentary article to download. 

Are you encountering any obstacles or pressures that dissuade you from negotiating to advance your interests?
