Why Negotiate?


Your very next deal could be the one that clinches your budget, lands that big account or puts your business way out in front of the competition” writes Susan Hackley, MD, Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School. “For the deal that could make your career.

To be a successful leader, you need to know how to manage conflict, solve problems, and get deals done. But what if you were able to improve the success of the outcomes you achieve by 10%, 20%, 30%, or more?  Realize greater success within your team, and with your partners, clients, suppliers, peers, and employees when you:

  • Set the stage for productive negotiations;
  • Resolve your most challenging conflicts;
  • Get past cultural barriers to form effective partnerships and;
  • Reach better agreements with key customers and vendors.


Program on Negotiation for Senior Executives


Join executive leaders from all over the world and learn to negotiate with someone who refuses to cooperate and bargain in good faith, or who stonewalls and won‘t bargain at all. You will learn what to do when the other side resorts to threats, dirty tricks or personal attacks, as well as how to break through negotiating logjams created by a hard bargainer‘s bad behavior without ruining your chances for success.

Based on a set of breakthrough strategies you can use to turn aside attacks, escape from seemingly impossible situations and move from face-to-face confrontation to more productive negotiating results.
