Facilitation and negotiation skills are vital for many people in business. The objective of this course is to give students reproducible and practical skills that will better prepare them for meetings and projects. In this course students will learn:

  • The role of the facilitator and negotiator, and how they think
  • How to clarify the objective of the meeting or project, and what issues to take into account
  • Techniques to handle meetings and how to ask questions
  • How to structure an entire discussion and minimize diversions
  • How to encourage the commitments of participants and build consensus through discussion

Trond Varlid
Organizational Behavior and HRM
Various skills and knowledge are required to be successful in business. Arguably one of the most difficult skills to master, however, is managing and dealing with people. Are leaders born or made? Why do people and organizations tend to resist change? How can you bring about change in your team or organization when it is needed? How do you empower and motivate your team to be successful and achieve their best performance? These are some of the key themes we will cover in our Organizational Behavior and Leadership class—and I look forward to your active participation. See you in class!
