BUS262 Team6: Final Blog Topic

While I really enjoyed all of the topics and activities, my favorite topic was conflict and negotiations. The reason why I enjoyed this topic the most is because I learned greatly about how to handle uncomfortable situations through negotiation and collaboration. I also really enjoyed the activity as I negotiated my new job benefits with my future boss. Before this lecture, my method of handling uncomfortable situations was to simply say “yes” to the other person. Through this topic, I learned how to negotiate more effectively by having options and by understanding my bottom line.

I really liked all of the books. My favorite one was Predictably Irrational because it was an eye-opening experience learning how we can be irrational individuals even when we think we are not. It’s important to understand people’s behaviors and their motives and influences.

I don’t have a specific book to recommend however I would like to learn more about how to increase my leadership confidence.
