A book by Jeff weiss - a specialist and expert in the field of negotiation - published through Harvard Business Review Press in 2016, as a "Guide to Negotiation".
Weiss in this book summarised his experience by providing the reader with the best methodology - as per his opinion - to approach any negotiation, which the focus is on the win - win outcome that is generated from utilising the "Circle of Value"* approch
*"Circle of value approch: An approach used to find creative ways to satisfy as many shared and differing interests as possible. The approach is characterized by exploring options without commitments (or threats), using interests and standards of legitimacy to explore ways to create and distribute value, and the parties’ avoiding becoming a voice of authority. Also see “problem-solving approach.” (Bruce Patton, Building Relationships and the Bottom Line: The Circle of Value Approach to Negotiation [Harvard University Press, 2004], 4-5)."
In addition he did illustrate several tools and techniques that suppose to give the negotiator leverage in reaching the desired outcome of negotiation where all parties involved have something that can justified as a success tho thier organisations, a success that can be defined and gauged against Weiss's seven elements: • Satisfies everyone's core interests (yours and theirs). • Is the best of many options. • Meets legitimate, fair standards. • Is better than your alternatives. • Is comprised of clear, realistic commitments. • Is the result of effective communication. • Helps build the kind of relationship you want." Page 2
Addressing the best approach through the lifecycle of thr Negotiation (planing to negotiate - the actual negotiation- closure of negotiation and establishing the agreement and post negotiation when the agreement is being implemented) not forgetting to develop the process by documenting the lessons learned as a knowledge asset of the organisation, and to integrate these lessons an the knowledge gained to develop the negotiation procedures, process and experts skills.
I did not like the fact that the author was trying to Forse him self to use and compolsary switch between "he & she" which was annoying to certain extent (as if it was a must to satisfy a certain standard or code!), despite that fact, the overall content was fine, there where many extracted concepts from other professional literature with some original additions.
I do advise it to individuals whom have an interest in the subject (negotiation skills).
Quotes:
"you're taking a potentially conflict-filled conversation and working toward a joint solution. That's what a negotiation is-a situation in which two parties with potentially competing incentives and goals come together to create a solution that satisfies everyone." Page xi
"Define Success with Seven Elements Aim for an agreement that: • Satisfies everyone's core interests (yours and theirs). • Is the best of many options. • Meets legitimate, fair standards. • Is better than your alternatives. • Is comprised of clear, realistic commitments. • Is the result of effective communication. • Helps build the kind of relationship you want." Page 2
"The things you learn along the way can make all the difference in your negotiation." Page 55
"When and where you negotiate has a large influence on how the negotiation goes and, often, what the outcome will be." Page 59
"Power comes from negotiating with discipline." Page 69
"Make sure you're engaged in a discussion, not a debate. The more your counterpart feels listened to, the more open to persuasion she'll be." Page 74
"Early in the negotiation is also the right time to focus on your relationship by separating it from the essence of what's being discussed in the negotiation. We call this negotiating on two tracks." Page 74
"Offering three or four possibilities increases your chances of iterating together to find a solution that meets both your interests." Page 87
"It's not a failure to walk away if you can't negotiate an agreement that's better. Never negotiate just to agree." Page 98 * better than your best alternative that you can do alone or with different parties.
"In the same way that you want to start preparing for a negotiation as early as possible, you also want to commit to its outcome as late as you can." Page 100
"The four most common problems that negotiators may face are: 1. There are multiple parties involved. 2. Your counterpart is a hard bargainer. 3. Communication breaks down. 4. The conversation gets heated." Page 109-110
"Negotiating with many individuals who have widely disparate interests can be daunting, but clarifying decision-making roles and using the one-text procedure is a disciplined way to bring all those voices together to reach one solution." Page 122
"Create the history you want to repeate." Page 133
"These perceived differences are dangerous because we often amplify them in our minds. Research has shown that we have a tendency to enhance our own side of an issue-to think of it as more honest or real-while vilify- ing others into "the opposition." This often leads to nega- tive perceptions of the other party and their reasoning, behavior, or position." Page 137
"After all, you can't change someone's mind unless you know where his mind is." Page 137 - 138
"People do what they think is in their best interests, whether we understand those interests or not." Page 141
"If the person is emotional, he is engaged, and this is often the best time to move into the circle of value." Page 154
"However, you'll need to take three last steps be- fore considering the negotiation final: documenting the terms, communicating with stakeholders, and prepping for implementation of the agreement." Page 159
"Some organizations create negotiation strategy playbooks in which they document this kind of information." Page 170
Very high level intro for negotiating. Not high level or actionable. I would recommend different reading for more thorough understanding of negotiating.
Immaturely written, provides basic intuitions one might with no experience negotiating past his summer allowance. Save your money and time on this HBS read.
Lesson: get to understand the other parties' desire, why they want so, ask them the purpose of their demand, and suggest another way to address the party's issue that is also in our favour. Example: So you suggest that way because you want to ..... If so, why not....., it also deals with your wish and much better.
