The Great Resignation Is A Re-examining

The Great Resignation Is A Re-examining

The “Great Resignation” can be considered the result of pent-up frustration and being put on pause. It is a great reexamining. People are looking at their lives and considering not just how much they want to be paid; they’re also deciding what they want their title to be and what their life should look like. Instead of getting through the day, they’re looking at the long term.

If you’ve been waiting to ask for a raise, ask now! If you’ve been waiting to go for the promotion, go now!

Prepare To Ask For More

Get better at asking for more by realizing where negotiation starts. It doesn’t start from the moment you sit down with your boss; it starts at home with you. It starts with being able to clarify your goals, your concerns, and your needs.

Expert negotiators are not the people with the most bluster or aggression; they’re the people with the most knowledge. They know themselves. They know the situation, and they have the ability to listen and get to know the other person really well so that they’re crafting the best possible deals.

Asking Open-Ended Questions

The key is going from closed to open questions. Classic closed questions can be answered with a “yes” or “no,” and the easiest answer is “no.” Instead of asking for a promotion. You can ask: "What’s the promotion process going to look like this year?” Or, “What do you need from me to make the case for my promotion?” Then listen to the answer.

When you ask someone that question, very often you’re going to get powerful information that’s going to tell you what matters most to them, so that you’re going to be able to figure out a way that meets their needs, while also meeting yours.

Stop and Land the Plane: A Few Seconds Of Silence

The final critical skill you need to master in a successful negotiation is “landing the plane.”

You asked your question and made your request, now, stop talking and land the plane. Silence can be nerve-wracking, putting you at risk of eating it up with words you may regret.
A lot of high-value negotiation moves come after three and a half seconds of silence. If you need to count in your head, do it. But silence is a superpower in negotiation. It gives the other person time to think, and it prevents you from bidding against yourself.
