Sincerely, Stéfan Danis President & CEO Mandrake LEARNING THE ART OF NEGOTIATION Obtaining what you want from your career - whether it is recognition, money or success - requires some form of negotiation. This CareerBuilder.com article outlines some of the basics in winning all those little battles in the workplace. It's important to understand your own true motivation, as well as that of the other party, whether it is your manager, or someone else in another department. When negotiating an issue, come to the table with questions and not problems to find out what the other party needs. Communicate how you feel, and are able to contribute towards the goals of the organization or project. Once you understand the other side's point of view, discuss options that may satisfy everyone's interests.

How to plan this effective raise "campaign" is the subject of this article from About.com. One of the first steps in your campaign should be educating yourself about the compensation policies of your organization. Ensure you are measuring your achievements by the same standards your boss feels are important, and keep a log of these accomplishments. Although it may be difficult to actually ask for the raise, it's essential to make it clear to your boss that you are requesting one. Stress the reasons you deserve the raise, rather than why you need one. If you are turned down, establish if and when you might expect an increase in your salary, or attempt to negotiate other benefits, such as membership in a professional association or training. Above all, remain professional throughout the entire exchange.

YOU'LL PROBABLY GET IT An increase in salary is not the only form of compensation that your employer can provide. There are numerous other areas that can offer career happiness and advancement.

Suggestions include more time off, more say in company decisions, more assignments, as well as more fun and a sense of purpose in your job.
