Profile Interview: Dr Prodipto Ghosh - AWG KP negotiator India

Posted on 08. Jun, 2009 by Leela Raina in Adopt a Negotiator, India, Uncategorized

The aim of interviewing our lead negotiators is that we get to know our negotiators better, understand the cultural, religious, academic and regional diversity within our delegation. I also believe that building a personal relationship with each negotiator interview aids in our tracking process as well as gives us an idea on the principles and working philosophies of our delegation. Sometimes this gives us hints to our possible political strategy.
