Dass ein klares »Nein« keine gescheiterte Verhandlung bedeutet, sondern dass sich ein »Nein« in einem positiven Sinne vorbringen lässt, davon handelt dieser bahnbrechende Verhandlungsratgeber vom Autor des »Harvard-Konzepts«. Wie das »Harvard-Konzept« vermittelt auch dieses Buch die Techniken, Tipps und Kniffe, die uns selbst in schwierigen Verhandlungen glänzend bestehen lassen.

Die Fortsetzung des VerhandlungsklassikersDer weltweit anerkannte Verhandlungsexperte William Ury hat das Harvard Negotiation Project mitbegründet und seither Zehntausenden von Managern, Anwälten, Lehrern, Diplomaten und Regierungsmitgliedern das Verhandeln beigebracht. Zusammen mit Roger Fisher ist er Autor des Weltbestsellers Das Harvard-Konzept.In seinem neuen Buch zeigt Ury, dass das größte Hindernis einer erfolgreichen Verhandlung oft nicht die Gegenseite ist, sondern ich selbst es bin. Sehr oft handle ich nämlich gegen meine eigenen Interessen.Konsequent stellt der Autor einen Weg vor, wie ich mir zunächst einmal darüber klar werden muss, was ich selbst in einer Verhandlung eigentlich will. Klingt banal, ist es aber nicht, ebenso wenig wie die weiteren Schritte: Wie schaffe ich es, mir in einer Verhandlung nicht selbst im Weg zu stehen? Habe ich überlegt, was die beste Alternative wäre, falls ich nicht erreiche, was ich will? Zu guter Letzt besteht das Ziel jeder erfolgreich geführten Verhandlung darin, anstelle eines Szenarios mit Gewinnern und Verlierern eine Situation zu schaffen, in der niemand übervorteilt oder vor den Kopf gestoßen wird, nämlich eine Win-win-Situation.
