Negotiating the Sweet Spot: The Art of Leaving Nothing on the Table
Autor Leigh Thompsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2020
On average, people leave about 20% of potential mutual gains untapped in any negotiation. This is akin to taking 20% of the value in any deal and dumping it into a garbage canister. Finding that hidden 20%, the “sweet spot,” is a skill that takes practice but is also one that anybody can learn.
Leigh Thompson offers best practices and tools within this book to use in daily negotiations and conflict situations. She calls these strategies “hacks” because they work but don’t require a lot of investment, training, expense, and time. You don’t have to be a CEO, senior VP, or regional brand manager to learn how to find the sweet spot in life’s negotiations.
In Negotiating the Sweet Spot, benefits include learning the following:
- Understanding where the sweet spot is in the deals you negotiate
- Adopting a big-picture mind-set when approaching any negotiation
- Seeing negotiations less as win-lose battles and more as opportunities to use problem-solving skills
- Utilizing a tool kit of “hacks” that will work in any negotiation and have been proven effective by a top expert in the field

Valentin Postolache a dat nota:
Pandemia poate aduce și lucruri bune: căzând cu bicicleta, Leigh Thomson a trebuit să stea mai mult acasă și astfel a scos această nouă carte. Sweet spot în negociere este aplicarea de către profesoara americană a unui concept din tenis, preluat apoi în golf: sweet spot este punctul de pe racordajul unei rachete care asigură loviturii maximum de putere. Recunoscând că win-win este un concept mai degrabă teoretic, punctul fiind dificil de atins în negocierile reale, dacă nu imposibil, Thomson propune o optimizare: negociatorii să obțină maximum din ceea ce se poate obține. Tot cam aia însemna și frontiera Pareto, dar trebuie să recunoaștem că terminologia propusă de Thomson e mai sugestivă. Vicleșugurile (ea le spune hacks) pe care le propune se bazează pe cercetare și funcționează.
