Negotiation Tip: Negotiating with Extremists
Monday, April 24th, 2006This week Josh takes on the challenge posed to him by a listener regarding negotiating with extremists. This is a difficult subject with few clear cut answers. However, Josh suggests that a big part of the problem is how people define negotiation. Josh defines his perspective on negotiation and then gives an example where negotiating with extremists has been a much more accepted practice – that of hostage negotiation by police in the US. Finally, he shifts his focus to the international realm and then concludes with a challenge to the listeners to think about the issue for themselves.
