E-Books →Negotiating the Impossible How to Break Deadlocks and Resolve Ugly Conflicts (without Money or Muscle), 2nd Edition

Award-winning professor from Harvard Business School offers a new and improved edition of his guide to navigating negotiation deadlock, while offering practical advice and stories of success.
Updated with 20% new material, including a brand-new chapter and discussion guide.
Harvard professor and negotiation adviser Deepak Malhotra shows how to defuse even the most potentially explosive situations and to find success when things seem impossible in this fully expanded upon second edition.
Some negotiations are easy. Others are more difficult. And then there are situations that seem completely hopeless. Malhotra identifies three broad approaches for breaking deadlocks and resolving conflicts, and draws out scores of actionable lessons using behind-the-scenes stories of fascinating real-life negotiations, including:
drafting of the US Constitution
ending bitter disputes in the NFL and NHL
and beating the odds in complex business situations.
He also shows how these same principles and tactics can be applied in everyday life, whether in a job interview or even negotiating with children. Brand new to this edition is a chapter on challenges facing today's world including how to effectively negotiate in virtual spaces, incorporate AI in your toolkit, and tackle increased polarization.
With conflict escalating and no one willing to back down, Malhotra reminds us that negotiation is always, fundamentally, about human interaction. No matter how high the stakes the object of negotiation is to engage with other human beings in a way that leads to better understandings and agreements. The principles and strategies in this book will help you do this more effectively in every situation.
