NEGOTITATOR

May be intentional or unintentional. Intentional ambiguities arise when there is a need for a face-saving formula to break a DEADLOCK: “You interpret it your way and we will interpret it our way”.
  Employer-union PROCEDURE agreements state that: “The employers have the right to manage their enterprises and the unions have the right to exercise their functions”. These rights overlap, and depending on the circumstances and the economic climate, one side’s interpretation could trespass on the others.

ASSUMPTIONS
In business, and in affairs of the heart, assumptions are inevitable.
• Check out your assumptions before acting upon them.
• Ask QUESTIONS.
• Listen to the answers for what they tell you about your assumptions.
