Getting to YES: Negotiation skills for everyday

Book review with Stuart McGuire

If you enjoyed the last book review, you’ll surely enjoy this one as well. This is much more practical than the last one.

Getting to Yes is a very fundamental book that everybody should read. It was fundamental for me early in my career as it helped me through many negotiations throughout my career.

You will see from our discussion the AHA moments Stuart had by reading this book and the important points I’ve learned. Here are a few, we dive in more deeply:

  • How to be good in negotiation
  • Separate the people from the problem
  • Focus on interests, not positions
  • Work together to create opinions that will satisfy both parties
  • Negotiate successfully with people who are more powerful, refuse to play by the rules, and/or resort to “dirty tricks”
