Recommendation

Ginny Pearson Barnes’ book declares that negotiations should not be wars of attrition or clashes of egos. Instead, they should be mutually beneficial dialogues that involve an open exchange of ideas, mutual respect and a celebration of differences. Sound a little simplistic? Perhaps. But the book is crisply written and covers all the points that one would expect: determining which side of a negotiation holds the power, using body language to your advantage and crafting fall-back positions.

Nevertheless, veterans of hard-fought deliberations likely will find Successful Negotiating a bit soft in detail, so getabstract.com recommends the book to rookie negotiators who want to know what to expect when they step into the smoke-filled room.
