New Narrative Negotiator Manifesto
In an interconnected world defined by complexity, interdependence, and accelerating change, the time has come to reimagine negotiation.
Our role
Katia Tieleman and NegotiationWize took the initiative for this New Narrative Negotiator Manifesto. It is part of our commitment to reshaping the future of negotiation.
We invite everyone to join: this is not just our vision, but a shared movement toward connected, values-driven and transformative negotiation.
No rules but principles
This manifesto imposes no rules. The principles provide direction and invite you to put them into practice. By experimenting and making conscious choices, you give meaning to this new narrative yourself.
A learning community
The power of this manifesto lies in the community of signatories. Signing is an invitation to share experiences, challenge one another and bring the principles to life. Together we are writing a new negotiation story.
The ambassadors
Our ambassadors endorse the manifesto and share one conviction: negotiation can -and must- be done differently.
Their words demonstrate the power of a new narrative.
Louis Jonckheere, Luk Dewulf, Nele Van Damme, Rudy Maertens, Lesley Arens, Theo Vaes, Anouk Lagae, Fredo De Smet, Jochanan Eynikel, Caroline Vercauteren… are already endorsing a new story for negotiation in the 21st century.
