1st Principle: separate the people from the problem: Negotiator should depersonalise the situation and accepting that the subject matter of the negotiation. This can be difficult for untrained negotiators, but this is a key skill to develop
2ndprinciple: focus on interests, not positions: It is important in principled negotiations not to focus on their parties' positions (what are expressed during negotiations), but on the interests (underlying needs) behind them
3rd principle: invent options for mutual gains: this principle aims to help the parties find a solution that both would benefit from. The more options - or tradeables - that can be brought to the table the better.
4th principle: insist on using objective criteria: is about making sure that the negotiation stays focused on outcomes based on objective criteria and that it is productive.
