5 Steps for Effective Crisis Negotiation
- Prepare for crisis: Good crisis-management plans predict and set mechanisms to deal with and minimize the effects of disputes.

- Confront emotions head-on: Listen to your counterpart's demands aiming to identify his underlying motivations. Active-listening techniques, such as self-disclosure, paraphrasing, and supportive remarks may help.

- Strengthen the relationship: establishing positive bonds helps both parties to see what would satisfy its counterpart.
