GLS: Getting to Yes by William Ury


·      How much of your time is spent on negotiation or handling conflict?
·      The single most important barrier to getting what you want is you!
o   Go to the balcony. Look at your conflict from a different perspective. 
o   Elevate and see the larger picture.
o   One of the greatest powers of negotiation is the power not to react!
·      Focus on the underling needs.
·      People:  Separate the people from the problem.
o   Be soft on the people and hard on the problem.
§  The harder you will need to be on problem the softer you need to be on the person!
§  Try to put yourself on the same side of the table focused on the problem.
·      Interests:  focus on interests not the positions.
o   What is their intent?  Why do you want this position?
·      Options:  Develop multiple solutions to solving the problem.
o   Create solutions based upon interests. 
·      Criteria:  Use standards that are based on fairness not will!
o   Be objective and be fair.  What is best for the whole?

o   BTNA:  Best Alternative to Negotiated Alternative.
§  What is your back up?  You should have one.
§  This is your anchor.
