S4: Underlying Interests Questions

From: The Mediator's Toolkit

$3.50

Underlying Interests questions delve beneath the conflict positions and demands presented by parties in mediation. They are designed to reach the core of their conflict and discover the things that are important to them. Getting to the underlying interests introduces new and valuable information to a mediation process and creates new insight and understanding between parties in conflict. This in turn should lead to a paradigm shift in their thinking and approach toward the conflict and toward each other.
