I'll be the first to admit I've not always been a great negotiator. Growing up with two sisters, negotiation wasn't in our vocabulary. You wanted something, you took it by force or by stealth, but there was no negotiating involved. Negotiation -- no. Recently I interviewed a couple of experts on the art of negotiation for my Gannett/USAToday.com column, about how you can be more successful in getting what you want with a whole lot less stress.

The negotiator is someone who usually tries to make up the rules as she/he goes along. For example, if a negotiator sees a co-worker drinking at lunch, they might wait to see if the behavior affects her/his job in any way, to see if it happens again or if anyone else notices.

Grant also writes about how givers negotiate better than takers. In one study of student negotiators, the group trained as givers got better deals for themselves and their opponents. The researchers concluded that by shifting their thinking toward one of giving, these students were able to find creative solutions to the negotiation impasse they were at. To help givers avoid being walkovers Grant suggests many ways to reframe situations, like negotiations.

You can negotiate much more aggressively when an organization is trying to hire you, as opposed to once you’re already on board. Advancing financially at work can be hard.

Treat , from trahere by way of tractare , which came to mean “conduct oneself” or “manage,” means “bargain,” “negotiate,” or “deal with.” Meanwhile, a treatise is a methodical argument or exposition that treats, or deals, with a topic, and a treaty is a document that details an agreement resulting from negotiation. Entreat means “plead,” from the sense of negotiation; an act of pleading is called an entreaty and the notion of doing so is entreatment.
