Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

In negotiation as in life, we can learn perhaps even more from failures as from successes. That’s why Weiss has done us a great service in providing us not only vivid examples of negotiation failures but a comprehensive framework for how we can learn from them. Highly useful for becoming a better negotiator!”
—William Ury, coauthor of Getting to Yes

“Weiss brilliantly deconstructs, as only he can, negotiation failures to spare us all the agony we will encounter and turn losing into a transformative growth experience that will last us a lifetime.”
—Joe Navarro, author of Be Exceptional

“The best negotiators learn the fastest from failure – whether temporary setbacks or catastrophic collapses. Weiss provides a lens for seeing our mistakes, and a lifeline for learning and re-finding our footing.”
—Sheila Heen, Professor, Harvard Law School and coauthor of Difficult Conversations

“The very best negotiators expect they will encounter frustration and failure. Weiss skillfully guides us to the path of success with a highly useful process we all can follow.”
—Scott Tillema, retired SWAT hostage negotiator

This slender volume tackles a little-examined aspect of negotiation in business environments: how to learn from one's failures as a negotiator in order to productively restart negotiations following a setback or impasse. Weiss (cofounder, Global Negotiation Initiative, Harvard Univ.; The Book of Real-World Negotiations) urges readers to cultivate a growth mindset, which leads to resilience. Negotiators in an optimal mental space are self-aware and comfortable with uncertainty while they navigate a wide range of situations. Weiss outlines a five-step program for bouncing back from stalled negotiations: accepting and coping with failure, analyzing why failure happened, learning the right lessons, actively unlearning bad habits, and finally returning to the bargaining table. It's not a groundbreaking approach, but learning from failure is an appealing way to think about negotiation amid the many overly aggressive self-improvement books on this topic. Weiss imparts ideas clearly and engagingly and shares practical examples of what to do and what not to do. VERDICT This business self-improvement guide will help negotiators at all skill levels to learn from their mistakes.—Michael Rodriguez
