Overview
Key facts
- Effective negotiation is not about being stubborn in the face of inevitable change. Nor is it about being passive when challenged. It is about mastering strategic and analytic skills that enable you, as an organizational leader, to accurately diagnose problems, build winning coalitions and craft robust agreements.
- In short, it is about shaping your circumstances before they shape you.
