Review by Denis Benchimol Minev for Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In; Second Edition
Rating:
This is the first book I ever read on negotiating, and at the time I found it extremely good. However, since then, I have read both Shell’s “Bargaining for Advantage” and Cialdini’s “Influence”, and found those two books immensely better than Getting to Yes, for a few different reasons.Number of stories – in Getting to Yes, the authors do not offer enough stories to burn the concepts into the reader’s mind. I personally think stories are the best way to communicate something like negotiating.Actual psychological concepts explained – Getting to Yes is a summary of findings, and it never explains why certain things work. Without a deep understanding, it is not clear when the concepts work and when they don’t. Especially in Influence, you really get to understand how to persuade someone by remembering the core psych concepts.If you are just looking for a quick intro to negotiating, this is a decent book. If you would like to actually understand people and how to influence them, this is too basic.

The foundation of all great negotiation books, Getting to Yes gives you the real essence of mutual gains negotiation. It’s a neat, concise, little paperback, and a fast read. It’s so neat and concise, in fact, that you should buy multiple copies and hand them out to people you like – or to people you want to like you. I’ve read it a dozen or so times and I keep finding new insights. The main ideas of the book are that positional negotiation is pointless, and that our negotiations should focus on interests rather than positions. As far as I’m concerned, if that’s the only thing you recall from reading this book, you’ll have learned something indispensable. But, by the time you finish Getting to Yes, you’ll be convinced that negotiation is a simple matter of figuring out what you really want, what the other side wants, and working out the space where those interests intersect — despite the generalizations, deletions, and distortions the other side might use to confuse you. One of the leading fundamental constructs presented in Getting to Yes – which differs radically from my own number one tenet – is “separate the people from the problem.” Getting to Yes proposes that problems exist objectively and can be analyzed on their own merits, independent of people’s perceptions, attributions, and relationships. My contention is that a problem only exists to whatever extent it is perceived by the beholder. As such , there is no problem if you separate the people from it. In real life, it’s impossible to disentangle people issues from discussions of “concrete substance.” Regardless of the prescriptive in Getting to Yes, real problem solving negotiations require constant simultaneous attention to the problem and the people. The skills you really need to extract and understand others’ perceived interests in the context of a relationship aren’t taught in Getting to Yes. The book diagnoses the conditions that cause difficulty in negotiation, but doesn’t offer all components of the cure. Nevertheless, one dose each of Sales Effectiveness Training and Getting to Yes should cure just about anything that ails any normal negotiation. As John Kenneth Galbraith says of Getting to Yes, “This is by far the best thing I’ve ever read about negotiation…equally relevant for the individual who would like to keep his friends, property, and income and the statesman who would like to keep the peace.” What other endorsement do you need?

Review by Professor Donald Mitchell for Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In; Second Edition

In virtually all circumstances where people are working together, they come to agreement in ways that short-change the interests of everyone involved. This landmark book shows practical ways to find out what other people want, and to devise better alternatives that create a “win” for everyone. The authors do a great job of overcoming the preconception that many hold that working on problems means that you have to be unpleasant. The advice to be hard on the problems and easy on the people (building a relationship) is a key concept that everyone can use. I have found this book to be one of the most helpful that I have every read, and I cite its lessons in my own book. I recently had a chance to use these principles in a negotiating workshop with veteran negotiators, and I was struck by how few people apply the lessons of GETTING TO YES. You will vastly improve your life if you read and practice the ideas in GETTING TO YES.

Overall, I like this book a lot and I found it very useful.Actually I didn’t read through the whole book. Yet I did capture the key point of the book – ‘Don’t bargain over positions’. Then I used this principle-based negotiation in real life. For instance, when I am facing a challenge from my partner on my proposal, I won’t fight back directly. I will first seek for the mutual interest, a common ground. Then I’ll explain why I think my proposal can help achieve the mutual interest. Then I ask the opposing partner what he/she think and whether he/she wants to share any better proposal to achieve this mutual interest. If my/mutual interest can be satisfied, yet my partner has a better way to do it, then why not change my own proposal? I tried this approach several times and they all worked out pretty well. Most of the times I successfully convinced my partner without damaging relationship. A few times I changed my position yet I was still happy because I still had my interest satisfied.Net, this book is really useful and recommend to BUY for everyone.

I read this book in an MBA course for Dispute Mediation. Although it was not a required reading, every text and article mentioned this book. You can easily read it in a weekend. Do not expect theory, paradigm, or lofty descriptions-this is cut to the chase stuff that lets you know many techniques for negotiating and helping the other side make a decision that is right for all involved. Some helpful key concepts include elimintating emotions from the process, or dealing with the emotional techniques that the other side may use against you. It also describes BATNA, or the best alternatives to a negotiated agreement-those agreements which may be the most realistic and beneficial terms for both sides. I think that the other book, getting past no, by the same author, is an additional reference that anyone considerring this book should also read as an excellent complementary text to the principles outlined in this classic.
