Negotiating at Work
Autor Deborah M Kolb, Jessica L Porteren Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 ian 2015
După parcurgerea acestui volum, veți fi capabili să transformați orice solicitare informală într-o negociere structurată, obținând resursele, vizibilitatea și flexibilitatea necesare pentru a avansa în ierarhia organizațională. Recomandăm Negotiating at Work ca pe un ghid strategic esențial pentru liderii care activează în medii corporative complexe, unde rezultatele depind direct de navigarea inteligentă prin relațiile de putere.
Apreciem modul în care Deborah M Kolb și Jessica L Porter ancorează procesul de negociere în realitatea culturii organizaționale. Abordarea lor diferă de cea din Negotiation de Lavinia Hall prin faptul că este mult mai puțin abstractă și mult mai aplicabilă; în loc să se piardă în teorii ale jocurilor, autoarele se concentrează pe „n-negocierile” cotidiene care decid cine primește proiectele importante sau creditul pentru succes. Cartea este organizată riguros în două părți: prima se concentrează pe recunoașterea oportunităților și poziționare, în timp ce a doua oferă tactici concrete pentru gestionarea procesului, precum „mișcările și întoarcerile” (moves and turns) necesare în fața unui interlocutor reticent.
Această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție firească a temelor explorate de Deborah M. Kolb în Next-Level Negotiating sau în articolele sale pentru Hbr's 10 Must Reads on Managing Yourself, Vol. 2. Dacă în lucrările anterioare accentul cădea pe advocacy individual, aici negocierea devine un instrument de schimbare sistemică. Credem că forța acestui manual rezidă în capacitatea de a oferi soluții pentru situațiile în care negociem cu superiori sau în contexte unde inechitățile de putere par insurmontabile, oferind cititorului pârghiile necesare pentru a provoca status quo-ul.

Descriere
Understand the context of negotiations to achieve better results
Negotiation has always been at the heart of solving problems at work. Yet today, when people in organizations are asked to do more with less, be responsive 24/7, and manage in rapidly changing environments, negotiation is more essential than ever. What has been missed in much of the literature of the past 30 years is that negotiations in organizations always take place within a context of organizational culture, of prior negotiations, of power relationships that dictates which issues are negotiable and by whom. When we negotiate for new opportunities or increased flexibility, we never do it in a vacuum. We challenge the status quo and we build out the path for others to negotiate those issues after us. In this way, negotiating for ourselves at work can create small wins that can grow into something bigger, for ourselves and our organizations. Seen in this way, negotiation becomes a tool for addressing ineffective practices and outdated assumptions, and for creating change.
Negotiating at Work offers practical advice for managing your own workplace negotiations: how to get opportunities, promotions, flexibility, buy–in, support, and credit for your work. It does so within the context of organizational dynamics, recognizing that to negotiate with someone who has more power adds a level of complexity. The is true when we negotiate with our superiors, and also true for individuals currently under represented in senior leadership roles, whose managers may not recognize certain issues as barriers or obstacles.
Negotiating at Work is rooted in real–life cases of professionals from a wide range of industries and organizations, both national and international.
- Strategies to get the other person to the table and engage in creative problem solving, even when they are reluctant to do so
- Tips on how to recognize opportunities to negotiate, bolster your confidence prior to the negotiation, turn ′asks′ into a negotiation, and advance negotiations that get "stuck"
- A rich examination of research on negotiation, conflict management, and gender
By using these strategies, you can negotiate successfully for your job and your career; in a larger field, you can also alter organizational practices and policies that impact others.
