The Professor walks in the quite and relatively small classroom and starts once again to try to undo 16 years of training. The Professor is thin of medium height with salt and pepper hair cut in military fashion. Though medium height, he commands respect and the attention of all who are in the same room with him. We are now in week 8 of 16 and we are facing the same problem we faced 8 weeks ago.
In theory we are supposed to challenge everything presented to us and make no assumptions, however that is turning out to be a harder feat than first expected. Via questions we are supposed to diplomatically question him and everything he assigns us. Over the last 16 years of our life we have been taught to obey authority figures, the penalty of our disobedience shame or even jail. How do we now overcome that to become critical thinking individuals who can respectfully challenge the forces in our lives?
My class mates speak out of how they utilize in their lives the skills learned in this classroom. Yet when we are placed in this environment, it is as if our brains are placed in a vacuum and nothing said applies to us or what we are currently doing.
How do my odd interactions with an overqualified professor intertwine with negotiation? Many argue that everything is a negotiation http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=153954 and that the key is not understanding what is negotiable, but rather what negotiation style fits your personality and skill set.
The classroom is a factitious expression of the educational system, and is an inhibitor of true education. We are restricted to the depth of cultivation the instructor perceives will push us to the point of learning without compromising positive reviews on the FCQ's.
How do we transform into better negotiators? Trying to gain the larger promotion or the cheaper vehicle... With an unlimited supply of negotiation tactics how do determine the right one to learn? The one that seems to be effective, or the most reasonable or perhaps the one that resonates in a corner of our soul? Everyone has a PowerPoint or ten point program on how to best accomplish your negotiation successfully. In my opinion these are all bogus, strategists and arbitrators stumble upon a winning strategy, name it and think it will work in your life somehow.
How do we contrive a workable process that can help us solve our everyday issues? Is there one solution for all of your problems? Is Effective Questioning (http://www.coachingforchange.com/pub10.html) the antidote for our inefficacy's?
