Rather that viewing every negotiation as an antagonistic and combative relationship, this book shows you how to move beyond the traditional pseudo win-win to construct a deal in which all parties get what they need. By exploring who we are as negotiators in the context of social conditioning, this model examines the cognitive, psychological, social, physical, and spiritual aspects of negotiation to help you produce more sustainable, prosperous, and satisfying agreements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe often think of negotiation as taking place in a boardroom, a car dealership, or any other contract-centered situation; in reality, we are negotiating every time we ask for something we need or want. Building more robust negotiation behaviors that resonate beyond the boardroom requires a deep engagement with others and a clear mindset of interdependence. This book helps you shift your perspective and build these important skills through a journey of discovery, reflection, and action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRethink your assumptions about negotiations, your self-perception, your counterpart, and the overall relationship\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdopt new tools that clarify what you want, why you need it, and how your counterpart can also get what they want and need\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChallenge fundamental world views related to negotiation, and shift from adversarial to engaging and satisfying\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the unseen forces at work in any negotiation, and prevent them from derailing your success\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the interest of creating an environment that elevates everyone’s participation and assists them in reaching their full potential, \u003ci\u003eQuantum Negotiation\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the reality of hardball and coercion with a focus on engaging the human spirit to create new opportunities and resources. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Authors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: What Comes to Mind When You Think of Negotiation? xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I Quantum Negotiation Practice 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 The WHO \u0026amp; WHY of Quantum Negotiation 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 The WHAT \u0026amp; WHAT IF of Quantum Negotiation 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 The HOW of Quantum Negotiation 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART II Quantum Negotiation Tools 77\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART III Quantum Negotiation Mindset 91\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Independence Is a Powerful Illusion 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 What You See Is Not What You Get 111\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Leading Is Not about the Leader 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 147\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQN References and Further Reading 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 157\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKAREN S.

That's because we have been conditioned to believe that every negotiation is a potentially ego-shattering exercise fraught with distrust, confrontation, and the risk of personal and professional disaster. This isn't helped by the fact that most books on the subject, while they claim to be about achieving win-win outcomes, address negotiation as a form of warfare requiring strategies and tactics for vanquishing your opponent. But it doesn't have to be that way. As the authors vividly demonstrate in this important new book, the most successful negotiators don't rely on control strategies and manipulative tactics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the revolutionary Quantum Negotiation philosophy is the conviction that, just as quantum physics has revealed the interconnectedness of all matter at the subatomic level, those on either side of the negotiating relationship are not separate and isolated, but, rather, interdependent. While this idea may seem counterintuitive at first glance, as you look deeper into it within the context of negotiations and leadership—from the small, day-to-day give-and-take of working in teams to multi-billion-dollar business deals—you'll see that it provides powerful insights into what you, and all people, need and expects, and how best to get it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on recent findings in the neurosciences, cognitive psychology, political science, and anthropology, among other fields, the authors develop the Quantum Negotiation model and practice which captures who we are as negotiators in the context of our social conditioning. Using realistic scenarios, along with several real-life cases of some of the world's great dealmakers, the authors show how Quantum Negotiators—men and women with a strong sense of self and social identity and who are firmly anchored to their own values—possess the curiosity, resilience and intelligence needed to understand others' interests and points of view and know how to leverage that understanding to bring every negotiation to a mutually satisfying conclusion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNegotiation doesn't have to be intimidating and angst-ridden. Read \u003ci\u003eQuantum Negotiation\u003c\/i\u003e and discover an exciting new paradigm for getting more of what you need and for making your own and everyone else's life better in the process.     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Quantum Negotiation\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eQuantum Negotiation\u003c\/i\u003e is a phenomenal book offering a new, transformative lens through which to view the negotiation process.

It is an evolutionary step forward for negotiation that handles the complexities of today's current reality (fast paced, hyper-transparency, global, and multi-stakeholder environments).
