Getting to Yes is a straightorward, universally applicable method for
negotiating personal and professional disputes without getting taken --
and without getting angry.
It offers a concise, step-by-step, proven strategy for coming to
mutually acceptable agreements in every sort of conflict -- whether it
involves parents and children, neighbors, bosses and employees,
customers or corporations, tenants or diplomats. Based on the work of
Harvard Negotiation Project, a group that deal continually with all
levels of negotiations and conflict resolutions from domestic to
business to international, Getting to Yes tells you how to:
- Separate the people from the problem
- Focus on interests, not positions
- Work together to create opinions that will satisfy both parties
- negotiate successfully with people who are more powerful, refuse to
play by the rules, or resort to dirty tricks
