Happiness Hypothesis

David A. Lax
James K. Sebenius

What You Do Away From The Bargaining Table Can Make - Or Break - Your Most Important Deals.

Stuck in a "win-win versus win-lose" mind-set, most negotiators focus on the face-to-face process at the table. In 3-D Negotiation, David Lax and James Sebenius urge bargainers to look beyond tactics at the table. Persuasive tactics are only the "first dimension" of the authors' pathbreaking approach, developed from their decades of doing deals and analyzing great dealmakers. Through moves in the "second dimension"--deal design--3-D Negotiators know how to unlock economic and noneconomic value by systematically envisioning and creatively structuring agreements.

But what really sets the 3-D approach apart, is its "third dimension": setup. Before showing up at a bargaining session, 3-D Negotiators "set the table" by arranging the most promising possible situation--laying the groundwork for adroit tactical interplay later. Acting away from the table, the bargainers ensure that the right parties have been approached in the right sequence, to deal with the right issues, engaging the right set of interests, at the right table, at the right time, under the right expectations, and facing the right no-deal options. This new arsenal of moves away from the table often exerts the greatest impact on the negotiated outcome.

Packed with practical steps and engaging examples, 3-D Negotiation enables you to reach remarkable agreements once you arrive at the table--deals that would be unattainable by standard tactics, no matter how skillful.

"At last, practical advice on how to overcome obstacles that prevent us from getting to yes." -Roger Fisher, coauthor of Getting to Yes

Managing Transitions
Making the Most of Change
National Bestseller over 400,000 copies sold

William Bridges
Author of the bestselling Transitions

The business world is a place of constant change, with stories of mergers, layoffs, bankruptcy, and restructuring appearing in the news every day. No matter the scale, when these kinds of changes hit the workplace, the literal, situational shifts are often not as difficult for employees and managers to work through as the psychological transitions that accompany them. Indeed, organizational transitions effect people; it is always people who have to embrace a new situation and carry out the corresponding change.

As veteran business consultant William Bridges explains in detail, successful organizational change takes place when employees have a purpose, a mental picture, a plan for, and a part to play in change. In short, successful change takes place only when employees are "on board" with it. Directed at managers on all rungs of the proverbial corporate ladder, this thoroughly updated and expanded edition of the best selling Managing Transitions provides practical, step-by-step strategies for reaching this goal and for minimizing the disruptions caused by workplace change. It is an invaluable managerial tool for navigating an inevitably tumultuous time.

William Bridges is a consultant and lecturer based in Mill Valley, California. Past president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, Bridges was rated by The Wall Street Journal in 1993 as one of the ten most popular executive development consultants in the United States.
