Could it be that the era of confrontation is ending and a new time of sitting down and talking over one's differences is beginning? That is the way some people are thinking new president Obama will be dealing with conflicts both internally and internationally. Imagine meaningful negotiations between, for example, Israel and Palestine. Well, there is a new book that people are talking about that could help anyone in a negotiation situation.
Whether you're negotiating with an intimidating boss to keep your job, a big bank to keep your business alive, or an entire nation to keep it moving forward, one of America's best-selling new books has answers you'll need this holiday season.
In ''Negotiating with Giants: Get What You Want Against the Odds,'' negotiation expert and Harvard MBA Peter Johnston relays dozens of real-life David & Goliath stories from across history, surfacing lessons we can all use to handle the growing number of giants in our personal and professional lives. Combining Wall Street smarts with sympathy for the little guy, Johnston hits a nerve with millions of Americans who face a faltering economy that produces new giants every day. The author's acclaimed book tackles our most challenging negotiations and conflicts, laying out unique strategies and concrete steps for negotiating everything from messy divorces and brutal hostage-takings to deals with hulking business titans such as Wal-Mart.
"If you feel like David looking up at Goliath, this insightful and entertaining book is now your best weapon - for individuals, entrepreneurs, smaller organizations and smaller nations," says Mark Edwards, a successful international business executive.
