Negotiating with Difficult People

Negotiating with Difficult People, 

a new article by John Harington Wade, Law Professor Emeritus, Bond University.


He defines difficult people as behaving in ways detrimental to his/her own best interests and to the interests of his/her community, for example:

- sends long insulting emails

- uses unnecessarily inflammatory language 

- arrives at meetings unprepared
- tries to ambush people with new information
- is totally focused on self-interest (“I need…..”), and is apparently
unaware of needs or goals of others
- lies and exaggerates
- cannot identify what is important or a priority in their lives
- spends more time and money on the dispute than it is apparently worth
