To handle conflicting egos in a negotiation, start by finding common ground, showing everyone the shared goals to reduce competition. Set clear rules for respectful speaking and listening, so the talk stays calm and focused. Acknowledge each person's viewpoint so they feel heard and respected. Keep the discussion on the problem, not the people involved, and encourage everyone to see things from others' perspectives. Act like a mediator by rephrasing things neutrally and guiding the talk back on track if emotions rise. Take breaks if needed to let everyone reset. Lead by example, staying calm and respectful, and keep the focus on shared goals to prevent ego-driven responses.

Prepare by understanding each party's motivations and setting clear objectives. Establish ground rules early to ensure professionalism and keep the focus on shared goals. Control the environment with a structured agenda and use breaks if tensions escalate. Leverage emotional intelligence by staying calm, neutral, and avoiding personal involvement in the conflict, while guiding the discussion back to the collective outcome. This keeps the negotiation productive and minimizes ego-driven disruptions.
