...Reflection Paper 1 HROD 493 Dr. Laurie Milton Negotiation is a day to day process that people engage in everyday of their lives, sometimes without even knowing it. Negotiations occur for several reasons: to agree on how to share or divide a limited resource, to create something new that neither party could do on their own, or to resolve a problem or dispute between parties (Lewicki, Barry, Saunders & Tasa, 2010, p. 2). Since negotiations are so common, one of the most important things I learned from participating in this Business Negotiations class was the importance of preparation. In previous negotiations I was involved in, I would usually enter into the negotiation with little or no idea of the outcome, or how I would reach it. After participating in a few negotiations in class, I soon discovered there are many benefits to be gained by taking the time to prepare for a negotiation. Knowing your limits (reservation point) and alternatives (BATNA) before sitting at the negotiation table for example, can give you the power to ensure that your needs and interests are met, whether by coming to an agreement, or by walking away (Lewicki et al., 2010, p. 74). Going along with this, knowing your settlement point and initial offer can help you anchor your subsequent offers while at the same time gauging whether the negotiation is going in a positive direction. Another important aspect of the preparation phase is knowing what style of negotiation you are participating in...

...1.0 Introduction Leadership can be defined as the process in which leaders influence their followers to achieve predefined organisational goals (Yukl, 2010). A leader is a person who the subordinates look up to for advices, guidance and also to make decisions which will benefit not only the ones directly involved, but everybody else as well. A leader is an important figure in an organisation because the way the subordinates perform will be the reflection of their leader’s calibre. Therefore, to ensure employees and other staff members to behave and comply with business ethics, the leader must set a good example to them by being ethical. This can also be known as ethical leadership. Brown, Trevino & Harrison (2005) has defined ethical leadership as it being the demonstration of normatively appropriate conduct, shown through personal actions and interpersonal relationships and also the promotion of those conduct to the followers via a two-way communication, reinforcement and decision making. With that definition, it can be said that leaders play a very important role in ensuring that their subordinates behave and act ethically because they are their role model and whatever they do or say are being watched by their subordinates, whether they are aware of it or not. Subordinates, employees, they all watch how their leader acts and react both consciously and unconsciously (Huhtala, Kangas, Lamsa & Feldt, 2011), thus picking up habits and also making their leaders’ actions into...

Leadership must be present at all levels of the organization. It depends on a million little things done with obsession, consistency, and care, but all of those million little things add up to nothing if the trust, vision, and basic belief are not there. (Haapaniemi, 2006) Leadership is more than just being confident that you can manage a number of people and make them follow your lead. Each one of us influences at least...
