Description
Content

NEGOTIATE AT HOME AND ABROAD is a ‘how to’ manual for any negotiator – the beginner seeking basic frameworks, processes and tools, or the old hand wanting fresh insights into what works, how and why...because the learning never stops! The extra dimension, ‘abroad’, offers Dos & Don’ts for those who have dealings in a global context: building trust with people and institutions across cultural gaps, balancing detail in the tasks (buying, selling, fixing details in the contract) against the all-important factors of perception, values and communication. The text is full of checklists, quizzes, and graphic illustrations, following a step-by-step programme - from preparation to the final handshake, looking out for ‘dirty tricks’ along the way. Read from front to back; it’s easy to follow and free of jargon. Or you can just dip into it for a fresh idea in the taxi from the airport to that key meeting across the table.
