Fear Makes Emotions Take Over

View

During negotiations, many emotions may arise while attempting to resolve conflict. Emotions must be considered when in the middle of a conflict because they can influence the outcomes considerably. In many cases, emotions can overcome reason, and as a leader, you must consider this to keep an effective balance. In this interesting first video in a series by Dr. Lana Staheil, fear, anger, sadness, and disgust are emotions to consider during a negotiation.

This video discusses fear and the differences between men and women during a conflict.
