Negotiation is a cornerstone of leadership. From securing contracts to resolving team conflicts, leaders must navigate agreements that benefit all parties. Here's how to excel at this vital skill:

1. Know Your BATNA: Before entering negotiations, determine your Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). This empowers you to walk away if an offer falls short of your needs. A strong BATNA strengthens your position and gives you room to make concessions.

2. Collaborative Spirit: Aim for win-win solutions. Leaders understand successful negotiation isn't about dominance, but building long-term relationships. Focus on common interests and identify areas where compromise can create mutual benefit.

3. Active Listening: Master the art of active listening. Pay close attention to the other party's needs and concerns. Ask clarifying questions to ensure you fully grasp their position. This fosters trust and allows you to tailor your approach.

4. Clear Communication: Articulate your goals and needs clearly, using strong communication skills.  Back up claims with data and evidence to support your arguments.  Be assertive, yet respectful, avoiding aggressive tactics that can damage relationships.

5. Leverage Body Language: Nonverbal cues speak volumes. Maintain confident eye contact, an upright posture, and avoid fidgeting. Projecting confidence strengthens your position and demonstrates your seriousness.

6. Be Flexible, Not Fixed: While you enter negotiations with clear goals, be prepared to adapt.  Unexpected issues may arise.  Maintain a flexible mindset, willing to consider alternative proposals that achieve your core objectives.

7. Patience is Key: Negotiations rarely happen overnight. Be patient, allowing time for discussion and counter-proposals. Don't rush the process to avoid settling for an unfavorable deal.

By mastering these strategies, leaders can transform negotiations from battles into opportunities for collaboration and mutual success.

   第二話


旧記によると、仏像や仏具を打ち砕いて、
その丹がついたり金銀の箔がついたりした木を、
路ばたにつみ重ねて、薪の料に売っていた
という事である。
洛中がその始末であるから、羅生門の修理などは
元より誰も捨てて顧みる者がなかった。
するとその荒れ果てたのをよい事にして、
狐狸が棲む。盗人が棲む。とうとうしまいには、
引取り手のない死人を、この門へ持ってきて、
棄てていくという習慣さえできた。
そこで、日の目が見えなくなると、誰でも気味を
悪るがって、この門の近所へは足ぶみをしない事に
なってしまったのである。

Chapter 1. Introduction 

Gabriel Wyner presenta su enfoque para el aprendizaje de idiomas basado en su experiencia personal y en principios científicos. Wyner enfatiza la importancia de la pronunciación, la memorización efectiva y la práctica activa. Su objetivo es ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar la fluidez de manera más rápida y eficiente.


Chapter 2. Upload: Five principles to end Forgetting 

Para aprender un idioma, la eficiencia es clave. usar técnicas de estudio que se alineen al funcionamiento del cerebro hará que cada hora invertida en el nuevo idioma sea lo más productiva posible.
Para esto el autor propone usar el sistema de repetición espaciada, el cual se basa en la curva del olvido, que muestra cómo los recuerdos se desvanecen con el tiempo, a menos que se refuercen. Este sistema propone revisar conceptos en diferentes puntos del tiempo para maximizar su recuerdo.
¿Estás intentando aprender vocabulario y es difícil recordarlo? Intenta usar Anki, es un software libre de flashcards que usa el sistema de repetición espaciada. Cuando crees tus tarjetas puedes añadir, imágenes y sonidos asociados con la nueva palabra, si creas diferentes conexiones, utilizando todos tus sentidos tendrás más oportunidades de recordar.
Cuando estés revisando la información hazlo de forma activa, es decir, antes de verificar la respuesta o que alguien te la diga, intenta recordar y llegar a la respuesta por ti mismo.
