    If you are leading a negotiating team, manage the people on your team. Especially if they are "professionals". You are responsible for their preparation, research and the role they will play. Too often clients delegate the preparation and research aspects of a settlement conference to their legal staff. This would be fine if the issues were going to be resolved by simply applying legal principles. When it comes to other issues and overall strategy, the responsibility is ultimately vested solely with the lead negotiator. Insure that everyone on your team knows their role, is prepared and, most importantly, that you have set the global strategy for the session and the parameters for settlement.

    - Welcome them to the negotiation and indicate your appreciation of what they can lend to reaching an accord.

    - State clearly and concisely the objective of the day's discussions in a fashion to get agreement on what will be discussed.

    - Ferret out areas where the other team members appear to not agree fully. This is best done by asking one person a specific, target question while observing another's reaction to the resp
