The Role of Body Language in Negotiation

Body language plays a crucial role in how messages are perceived during negotiations. It can either reinforce or contradict the spoken word, creating different interpretations of the same statement. For instance, leaning away while declaring 'that's my best offer' may convey a desire to distance oneself from the negotiation, while a tilt of the head could express curiosity and invite further discussion. Understanding these nuances enables negotiators to better interpret the sentiments behind another's words, facilitating a more effective exchange.
