In the article "How to Manage Your Negotiating Team," two key points are emphasized for effective negotiation team management. Firstly, it underscores the importance of clear communication within the team, emphasizing that team members need to be well-informed about the negotiation objectives, strategies, and the overall context. This ensures a cohesive and unified approach during negotiations. Secondly, the article emphasizes the significance of thorough preparation, urging negotiators to conduct comprehensive research on the subject matter and anticipate potential counterarguments or objections. Applying these principles to negotiating a teacher's salary with board members involves fostering open communication among team members to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding salary expectations and collective priorities. Additionally, meticulous preparation involves gathering data on comparable salaries in the education sector, presenting a well-substantiated case for the teacher's value, and anticipating potential concerns raised by the board, ultimately strengthening the negotiating position.

The rules-based school emphasizes adhering to established ethical principles and norms during negotiation. The care-based school values maintaining relationships and taking a compassionate, empathetic approach. Personally, I find myself aligning with the care-based school.
