Negotiation is considered a skill in understanding how to adapt to various communication situations. Your negotiation style may vary with others and your ability to adapt takes practice and learning. Understanding your own abilities will help you determine where you need to improve your skills.

2. How did you rate as a negotiator?
3. What can you do to improve your negotiation skills?
