Day 10

오랜만에 PC방에 오니, 진짜 신난다. 오늘 하루 종일 불태울 거야!
好久没来网吧了, 真开心。 今天要燃烧一整天! 

난 오늘 PC방에 처음 와서, 아까 본체 전원이 어디 있는지 한참 찾았어.
我今天第一次来网吧, 刚才找了半天主机电源在哪里。

내가 하고 있는 배틀 게임 있는데, 너한테도 알려줄까?
我有正在玩的对决游戏, 要不也告诉你吧? 

좋아! 룰 좀 알려줘.
好! 告诉我规则。 

연소하다, 불태우다  燃烧
본체 전원 主机电源
한참, 오랫동안 半天
배틀 게임 对决游戏
규칙, 룰 规则

Understanding Different Perspectives:

Step into Their Shoes:  Each department has its own metrics for success.  Marketing might prioritize customer acquisition, while engineering focuses on product quality and  feasibility.  Understanding their goals fosters empathy and reveals potential areas of collaboration.

Communicate Clearly: Clearly outline your desired outcomes and explain how they align with the company's overall objectives. Frame your requests in a way that resonates with their priorities.

Finding Common Ground:

Focus on Benefits:  Negotiation shouldn't be a win-lose scenario.  Instead, seek solutions that provide value to all parties involved. Brainstorm creative solutions that address everyone's concerns.

Be Prepared to Compromise:  Recognize that concessions are often necessary. Identify areas where you have flexibility and be willing to make trade-offs that won't severely hinder your core objectives.

Active Listening and Collaboration:

Listen Attentively:  Pay close attention to their concerns and reservations. Ask clarifying questions to ensure a complete understanding of their perspective.

Collaborative Problem-Solving:  Work together to address challenges.  Their insights might reveal unforeseen roadblocks or opportunities you haven't considered.

Maintaining Positive Dynamics:

Respectful Demeanor:  Throughout the negotiation, maintain a professional and respectful tone.  Avoid accusatory language or dismissive attitudes.

Focus on the Future: Don't dwell on past disagreements.  Keep the conversation focused on reaching a mutually beneficial solution moving forward.

Consistency is key to measurable progress. Confidence is grown from control and preparation.
