Negotiate Without Conflict: NegoAndCo’s Approach for Executives
A method developed by NegoAndCo to conduct influence negotiation that avoids conflict and preserves both reputation and the employer brand – By Thierry Krief, founder of NegoAndCo
Why a new negotiation model is needed
Separation negotiations are often seen as confrontational: employees fear the labor court, companies fear reputational damage. The traditional litigation‑first approach exhausts teams and harms the employer brand.
Influence negotiation rather than haggling
NegoAndCo’s method studies the psychology of stakeholders and the sociology of organizations, mobilizing cultural and economic levers to lead the company to view an amicable separation as the beneficial option.
Three pillars of success
- 70% influence: mapping stakeholders (line manager, HR, peers, leadership) and choosing the right decision path.
- 20% financial negotiation: severance, timelines, support measures.
- 10% legal: formalization via mutual termination or settlement.
Benefits of a conflict‑free approach
- For the employee: severance, preserved image, eligibility for unemployment.
- For the company: business continuity, calmer social climate, protection of the employer brand.
Common situations
Burnout, arrival of a new direct manager, sidelining, plan to start a venture, return from expatriation… In all these cases, NegoAndCo’s approach enables a fast career rebound.
Conclusion
Conflict‑free negotiation shows that a separation can be an opportunity. A rigorous influence process, coupled with sound legal formalization, in the service of a sustainable career.
