Getting What You Want in a...

Dr. Jim Anderson

When we sit down to negotiate, we are really entering into a very specialized conversation with the other side of the table. We have a set of goals and they have their own set of goals. The purpose of the negotiation conversation is to find out if there is a way that the needs of both sides of the table can be met.

What You'll Find Inside:

DEMANDS & DEADLINES: YOUR TWO BEST FRIENDS
SAY HELLO TO THE BOGEY-MAN – A NEGOTIATOR’S BEST FRIEND
NEGOTIATION FIRESTARTER: THE TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT TACTIC
NEGOTIATING SELF DEFENSE: COUNTERING THE REVERSE AUCTION TACTIC

In order to find ways to move the negotiation forward, the other side is going to have to understand what we are trying to accomplish. They are going to have to know when something is important to us and when we really don't care about something. It is our obligation to communicate our intentions to the other side.

The way that we communicate what we want is by signaling to them. Signals are rarely spoken words. Instead, we need to find other ways to get our point across and let the other side know what we want them to do. This requires them to take the time to study us and to get to know us well enough to be able to pick up on our signals.

During a negotiation, signals can come in many different forms. One of the more common ones is a deadline. We may present the other side with a deadline in order to motivate them or they may present us with one. If we are facing a deadline, then we need to know how best to react to it in order to still be able to reach our negotiating goals.

A great way to become better at using signaling is to take the time to see how others use signaling in their negotiations. The classic example is in labor negotiations where both sides are using the press to attempt to communicate to the other side what they want them to do. In the past few years, Boeing has been involved in a number of negotiations and has done a very good job of signaling to the other side what the next steps need to be.

How to Win Any Argument

Robert Aymer

This guide to negotiating is “mental judo, where you use the other guy’s energy to win. It’s mind-set. It’s charisma” (New York Times). 
 
The art of the argument. It’s mysterious and powerful. It’s the art of having things go your way. But it’s also the art of getting out of your own way. It’s having the Moves. But it’s also about having the Touch. Welcome to the “new normal.” It’s a time and place where conversations are tougher, disagreements more frequent, consensus more difficult to find than ever before. This new world demands three new “right for our times” chapters:“Heavy Metal Moves” and “Taboo Tactics”: When you’re being dissed, dismissed, and dumped on. Or when you need to break through.“Waging Peace: The Mediation, Arbitration, and Collaborative Practice Game”: Because there’s more conflict but less money to hire litigation lawyers.“The World Has Gotten Smaller”: Learn to identify deep-rooted cultural differences, and how to act and react. 
 
“This will be one of the most important books you’ve read in a long time.” —Larry King 
 
“Two thumbs up! A whole new way of being smart about all the people in your life—coworkers, bosses, family, the people you do business with. Bob Mayer tells you how to finesse the results you want without pleading, prodding, pushing, or pulling.” —Cuba Gooding, Jr., Academy Award–winning actor

The Retreat of Western Liberalism

Edward Luce

An “insightful and harrowing” analysis of the state of Western-style democracy by the Financial Times columnist and author of Time to Start Thinking (The New York Times). 
 
In his widely acclaimed book Time to Start Thinking, Financial Times columnist Edward Luce charted the course of America’s economic and geopolitical decline, proving to be a prescient voice on the state of the nation. 
 
In The Retreat of Western Liberalism, Luce makes a larger statement about the weakening of western hegemony and the crisis of democratic liberalism—of which Donald Trump and his European counterparts are not the cause, but a symptom. Luce argues that we are on a menacing trajectory brought about by ignorance of what it took to build the West, arrogance toward society’s economic losers, and complacency about our system’s durability—attitudes that have been emerging since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Unless the West can rekindle an economy that produces gains for the majority of its people, its political liberties may be doomed. 
 
Combining on-the-ground reporting with economic analysis, Luce offers a detailed projection of the consequences of the Trump administration and a forward-thinking analysis of what those who believe in enlightenment values must do to protect them.
