Collective bargaining and negotiations are one of the most important skills/requirements for a superintendent, in my opinion, with budgets running at 70% personnel costs. I believe negotiation is a skill that can be learned, and not one I am well versed in. I found the anecdotal snippets to be very interesting and informative.
I have to admit I got a bit bogged down in the afternoon with the lecture format and found it a bit difficult to concentrate. It is also hard to discuss what I would do during negotiations when I have hardly had an experience with the format. I think I would have really been lost in most of the discussions today if I had not had that limited experience this past spring with the process.
I think the simulation activity will be very valuable and I look forward to learning more negotiation skills.
I guess we should have asked the ending time this morning so it was such a surprise!! :)
