Negotiation Course for Executives | Ingemar Dierickx

Last week I had the pleasure to welcome Ingemar Dierickx once more time in Porto.

I have been working with Ingemar Dierickx for more than ten years.

I have had the privilege to organize and observe several of the workshops that Ingemar has run for many executives at Sonae (the number one retailer in Portugal, with two major partnerships in the telecommunications and shopping centers sectors).

Each time, I have been struck by the level of energy and enthusiasm of the participants during those workshops. Years later, former participants fondly recall anecdotes and key lessons learned and voice their admiration for Ingemar.

The results of these workshops are visible. I believe that part of the success of Sonae Group is due to Ingemar's teachings

post «Becoming a Better Judge of People»

I do believe the following questions are very useful in any situation you need to recruit talent:

1. What is the talk-to-listen ratio of this person?
2. Is this person an energy-giver or -taker?
3. Is this person likely to "act" or "react" to a task
4. Does this person feel authentic or obsequious?
5. What's the «spouse»/«significant other» of this person like?
6. How does this person treat someone s/he doesn't know?
7. Is there an element of struggle in this person's history?
8. What has this person been reading?
9. Would you ever want to go on a long car ride with this person? Or if you were stuck at an airport with a candidate, how would you really feel?
10. Do you believe that this person is self-aware?

I have found those great questions in an excellent post at HBR by Anthony K. Tjan: check the full post at http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/06/becoming-a-better-judge-of-peo/

Can you help us…launch a revolution in the fields of aerial imaging and robotics?

Mavrx is a robotic services company causing a paradigm shift in physical data collection and analysis. We are on the brink of a fundamental change in the way people utilize aerial imaging and robotics to make critical real world decisions.

Our vision is to automate and improve the way enterprises plan, track, and execute their work in the physical world.

• Are you passionate about aeronautics, robotics and image processing?
