You're on the same team

You're on the same team

- So that was the negotiating process applied to project management or agreeing a project with your boss. And I think what makes this different to other negotiations is that you're on the same team, you're on the same team as your boss. And even if you're working with a client really you're on the same team you both want the project to be successful. So what we're doing particularly with bosses is we're saying I want the project to be successful cause I don't want to let you down, that's going to be bad for both of us. So I do need to make sure I've got enough people or a long enough lead time or enough budget to be able to do this project properly. So I hope that helps you to make sure that your projects go well. That will be a great result for you and your boss and negotiation will have helped everyone.
