Campaign Boot Camp 20 - A Seven-Step Guide to Winning: Basic Training for Candidates Staffers Volunteers and Nonprofits

Christine Pelosi

Maison d'édition: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Synopsis

 Christine Pelosi presents leadership lessons from the campaign trail from a diverse array of over forty public figures, lending advice for anyone who wants to run for office, advocate for a cause, or win a public policy issue. This book draws from her leadership “boot camps” conducted in over thirty American states and in three foreign countries, working with thousands of volunteers and dozens of successful candidates for office from city council to US congress. Campaign Boot Camp 2.0 is basic training for future leaders who hear a call to service—a voice of conscience that springs from their vision, ideas, and values—and want to translate that call into positive change. Pelosi outlines the seven essential steps to winning: identify your call to service, define your message, know your community, build your leadership teams, raise the money, connect with people, and mobilize to win. Each chapter concludes with a “Get Real” exercise so readers can personalize and integrate these ideas into individual efforts. In this edition, Pelosi updates the book's “Call to Service” profiles of political leaders and their calls to service; details the expanding role of social media, the Internet, and technology as message multipliers; explores challenges unique to women candidates; and expands on the power of volunteers.

How a Psychologist Can Prepare...

Dr. Jim Anderson

It turns out that most negotiations are over even before they begin. The team that has spent the most time planning for the negotiation, doing their homework, and collecting the data that they'll need is the one that's going to walk away from the table with the best deal. Wouldn't you want that team to be your team?

What You'll Find Inside:
THE 7 DEADLY SINS OF PREPARING TO NEGOTIATE
DEALS THAT MAKE MONEY: HOW TO PLAN YOUR CONCESSIONS
MAKE MORE SALES: UNDERSTANDING BUYER POWER & WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
SINGLE VS TEAM NEGOTIATION: WHICH IS BETTER?

Planning is what happens before a psychologist sits down at the negotiating table. There are no negotiating tactics or tricks at play here. It's just a matter of you doing your homework. At the same time you hope that the other side is NOT doing their homework so that you'll show up at the negotiation more prepared then they are.

Just committing to doing the planning that your next negotiation is going to require is not enough, you also have to know just exactly how to go about doing it. That's what this book is going to teach you. Every negotiation is different and so the planning that you'll have to do for every negotiation will be different also.

The planning that is required for a successful negotiation takes on many different forms. These can include planning where and when the negotiations will be held, what concessions you'll be willing to make to the other side, and understanding who has what power in the negotiations.

The end result of doing the planning that a negotiation requires is that when you sit down at the negotiating table, you'll have a sense of being prepared. You'll know what you need to know about the other side of the table, what their goals are, what their constraints are, and what they hope to be able to get out of the negotiations. This is exactly the type of knowledge that every psychologist is going to need in order to be able to reach the type of deal that will allow you to walk away from the table with a sense of accomplishment.
