Recommendation

Steve Gates, a negotiation consultant, takes a balanced approach – exemplified in his conceptual tool, “the negotiation clock face” – that makes this manual valuable for negotiators with a wide range of skills and approaches. Gates is refreshingly honest. He incorporates the lessons of a half-dozen other books on the topic, and renders most other texts on the subject obsolete. Though the book is not necessarily the right stand-alone tool for raw beginners, getAbstract recommends its tough lessons to moderately and extensively experienced negotiators as well as to anyone looking to become more realistic about business.

Take-Aways

  • Negotiation influences everything you do.
  • Organize the different modes of negotiation into “the negotiation clock face”: Consider competition as the twelve-to-six side and collaboration as the six-to-twelve side.
  • Power shapes negotiation and gives you options; people who have power use it.
