The Co-Worker
Jim Hilbert
This is a simple negotiation scenario designed for adults who have not had formal training in negotiation (like community members). The scenario involves a relatively common and straightforward situation where someone would like help from a co-worker on a project. The situation is a little complicated because there has been conflict between the two workers in the past, and the task involves extra effort and staying after work hours. The exercise includes worksheets for identifying the interests of both parties and for brainstorming possible ideas that could be part of an agreement.
