Product Description

Product Description
The most important aspect of any negotiation is the real or imagined advantage one holds in a given situation.

The concept of “leverage” can refer to time, money, reputation, or any other factor deemed important by one of the two parties—but whatever it refers to, the ability to recognise and use this often-hidden trump card is what makes a master negotiator.

Leverage is an interactive, practical book that shows readers how to improve their negotiation skills and use leverage to get whatever they want out of any situation.

About the Author
Roger Volkema is a professor of management at the Kogod School of Business at American University and a private consultant to business and government. He conducts courses, seminars and workshops on negotiation mediation and conflict management and has written dozens of articles on those subjects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strategic lesson: how to start with leverage and move anything, 6 Nov 2006
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Leverage is a useful way of thinking about how to gain the advantage in a negotiation, but the concept is essentially a crystallization of what good negotiators have been doing for centuries. Author Roger Volkema does an especially fine job in two areas: useful examples and methodical explanation of your options. He classifies common power plays into types that you can identify, practice and counter. He provides examples of each type drawn from real experience and the popular media. The result is easy to read, understand and apply. The book would have been even stronger if he had added more that was new, if he had grappled more directly with situations where the parties lack leverage and if he had gone further on such matters as ethical negotiation. Yet, as noted, we praise his examples and strategies, and recommend this book to people who want to improve their negotiating skills.
