Most interactions you have are negotiations. “Hearing someone’s idea and deciding if it fits the blog” sounds like one of the first steps in a negotiation to me. Someone has proposed something to you and whether you like it or not you have to decide if you want accept, decline, or counter with a different offer.

And you can’t negotiate effectively without knowing the things you’ve listed here, because real negotiation tactics are all about knowing yourself and knowing the other person (listening!).

I’m glad you liked it. I don’t talk much about negotiating in it though – it’s more about hearing someone’s idea and deciding if it fits the blog or not. But that’s a good topic for the future.
