TASK 1
Unsuccessful negotiation
During the part in an unsuccessful negotiation, I think that the poor planning is
considered the biggest mistake for me where I found that that my team went wrong. In this, I
actually realized that I should delegate the responsibility on the basis of their abilities so that it
will help me to improve the work (Martin-Raugh and et.al., 2020). Therefore, before realizing
the things in an effective manner, I actually perform the role in negative manner and this causes
adverse impact over the performance. Moreover, I can say that in order to prevent myself from
such things, I would implement the approach in different manner so that it will help me to
overcome from such situation.
TASK 2
Reflective commentary
In the today’s session, I find that I understand my mistakes and I should focus upon
strategies which help to improve the same. Also, I realize that working in a team will be more
beneficial for me to improve the task and attain the same. Though this session, I learnt that an
unsuccessful negotiation always affect the goals which need to be attain and this if the actions
did not take effectively then it create a negative impact over my performance. Also, due to not
evaluating my team effectively, I think that I am not good to work in a team because it took me
time to work with people and understand their roles to meet the defined goals. For that, I actually
work closely with my team members in order to realize their performance so that they choose the
work accordingly. This help to improve the situation and work with the other members that help
in different situations. Thus, it shows that negotiation skill will be improved by implementing
effective steps.
Although, there are many things which I learnt from my team is such that communication
skills plays an important role to negotiate the things in better manner. Also, I might have learnt
more if I also have strong written communication skill so that effective outcome can be
generated. In addition to this, I should work on this that helps me to make the work more easier
for my team and easily convince them as well for the further development. That is why, I can say

that there are many things which I need to be work on the communication skills and planning
that helps me to improve the overall working environment. Such that effective action need to be
taken in order to convert the same into a strength and meet the defined aim.
