Getting More provides a jargon-free guide to negotiation. This is a groundbreaking book with a radically simple message: ignore the tactics and clichés of ‘win-win’ and ‘bargaining range’ negotiation manuals. Rather, the key to successful negotiation lies in credibility, flexibility, taking a personal approach and above all trying to understand what the other person is thinking. Professor Diamond will show you how to define and meet your goals across all areas of life. This book will not only make you a better negotiator, but can change your life.

Diamond’s Presentation will include these insights,
  • Power (leverage) is overrated as a negotiation device.
  • Irrationality and emotion must be addressed in important negotiations.
  • The pictures in their heads are more important than the facts.
  • To overcome hard bargainers, use their standards.
  • Goals are paramount, but most people get distracted from them.
“I rely on Diamond’s negotiation tools every day. The course taught me the value of preparation for any negotiation and how to reach creative outcomes. I recommend it to anyone involved in deal-making.”
Christian Hernandez, Head of International Business Development, Facebook, WG ‘03

“Practical, immediately applicable, and highly effective.”
Evan Wittenberg, Head of Global Leadership Development, Google, WG ‘02

“Devoting a few hours to this book will give the reader a massive advantage in any negotiation."
Stephanie Camp, Senior Digital Strategist, Microsoft, WG ‘06
