This course brings together the key strategic leadership skills of strategic planning, negotiation, and conflict management required to succeed in today’s complex and challenging business environment. 'Strategy' is as it says in the classic text 'the art of war', complex yet when understood very simple, those who have a successful strategy are in control of the upcoming events. The implementation of strategies often requires the ability to exert influence and negotiate effectively. Negotiation is not litigation, neither it is war. Negotiation is not about obtaining total victory. Total victory by one party tends to be short-lived. Negotiation and conflict management are key strategic management and leadership skills and are probably the single most used skills in business today.
