We want a lot of things in life whether it is convincing our child to go to bed, our spouse to join us in an activity we want to do, our boss to give us a better salary, our co-workers to buy into our project, or a competitor, supplier, or government official to help us increase revenue or decrease costs. We have to negotiate in all these events and we can lose that which we desire because we are unskilled at negotiation. This book will walk us through initial simple two party negotiations to multi-party negotiations, disputes, and mediation. These are basic principles taught in business school, in management seminars, and in leadership programs. Many of the principles are derived from countless books on the subject matter that were prolific in the 1980s and 1990s and some as far back as the turn of the 20th century. You should be able to read through this in one day, but make sure to underline or highlight the sections that you want to come back to, and come back to them often. These principles need to be practiced in order to become part of your routine. So practice, practice, practice...starting with your closest friends and family and then extending your practice into the business world.
