Getting Past No

Getting Past No

by William Ury

star4.5

Ury argues that in the 95 percent of negotiations where the other side refuses to play fair, the path forward is a five-step breakthrough strategy: go to the balcony, step to their side, reframe, build them a golden bridge, and use power to educate. He treats difficult negotiations as a joint problem rather than a contest of wills.
