older versus younger users when interacting

... Approaches  Fast­Slow Approach • Negotiation parties rush to reach an agreement, may have  ignored important constituencies and then the agreement  faces extreme difficulties in the implementation phase  Slow­Fast Approach • Negotiations are conducted slowly to ensure that the final  agreement is responsive to major constituents providing  greater speed in implementation  Slow­Slow Approach • Time is taken to consider, select and apply solutions PURRR Procedure  Pause when formulating  judgment   Understand what was meant by  actions or words  Reflect on information and ask  for additional information  Reinterpret by applying an  alternate explanation  Redirect conversation toward  goals ... Deception  Lying  Creating impression others will think poorly of them in order to  gain compliance  Threatening someone with power you don’t possess  Switching sides on an issue to create confusion  Suggesting you will provide something of value you don’t  intend to deliver  Offering false flattery  Intimidating other side with false claims  Making intentional misrepresentations  Pretending to be angry, insulted or annoyed to induce  cooperation When the Discussion Gets Stalled or Heated Chapter 9 Responding to Conflict  Maintain even disposition  Ask clarification questions  Delay with process not contention  Seek advancement on less contentious issues and return to  others later  Reposition or frame in positive, mutual­gain terms  Frame differences as natural   Find common ground through value linking  Emphasize what has been accomplished  Encapsulate conflict issues  Avoid petty issues  Meet halfway ... Differences • Dismissive – interrupting, talking over, ignoring  {men engage more frequently than women} • Exclusionary – leaving someone out of the  meeting, discussion or social gathering • Undermining – going behind the back of others or  using insults to discredit arguments • Retaliatory – used when other party feels  threatened • Patronizing – use a condescending tone {happens  more to women} ...
