Main Article Content
Abstract
For many organizations the negotiation skill is considered a common and essential practice to exercise leadership, not the exception. In military institutions such competence is of crucial importance in times of peace and vital in times of conflict. At the core of the negotiation process is the individual, alone or in teams. Its action has consequences for the whole chain of command.When acting as a negotiator, the military uses uniquely personal characteristics, typical styles learned by their regional culture and consolidated by its military subculture.What are the characteristics of negotiation committed by senior officers and to what degree the Brazilian military has been prepared to negotiate?This study took into account a survey that identified negotiation characteristics practiced by 246 active colonels of the Brazilian Armed Forces. The surveywasconductedattheEscola de Comando e Estado Maior do Exército – ECEME, in theCourse Política, Estratégia e Alta Administração do Exército – CPEAEx.The results have significant impact on the substantive and relational aspects of the negotiations, both domestically and internationally, and reveal the virtues of negotiation and gaps in military training in negotiation.
