Recommendation

People intensely dislike negotiating. This is true for everyone, including senior business professionals. This dread may derive from the mistaken attitude that negotiation must be a win- lose confrontation. Not so, according to Don Hutson and George Lucas, who provide a memorable, three-step process you can use to negotiate effectively. getAbstract likes this book’s clear-headed, easy-to-follow explanation of the essence of negotiation, including how to plan for a negotiation and how to negotiate successfully. However, the book is mistitled. Nothing takes only one minute, certainly not the careful assessment, strategic thinking and tactical planning that the authors correctly assert must accompany any negotiation. Otherwise, this is an outstanding book that can help you become a more successful negotiator.

Take-Aways

  • Most people suffer “negotiaphobia”: the fear of negotiating.
  • Overcome this fear with the “EASY treatment process: Engage, Assess, and Strategize,” and then conduct “Your One-Minute Drill.”
  • To engage, determine how you will treat the other side in a negotiation.
