100-Sum Game: Winning Negotiations Across Industries

Listen Later

Happy New Year! Kicking 2024 off strong, I sat down with Rashi Kakkar, an EM at McKinsey & Company, to explore her approach to creating an impact that goes beyond a killer analysis or a well-made deck.

With the belief that, ultimately, most problems boil down to a people problem, Rashi shared some models she uses and powerful questions to understand key players and their motivations, which is critical in the journey to secure buy-in from stakeholders and create mutual wins.

As a seasoned manager, she also shed light on what sets a great consultant apart from a good one!

Outside of work, Rashi enjoys writing and has a bi-weekly newsletter (https://decksanddiapers.substack.com) read by 1K+ readers from around the world where she explores themes around balancing ambition and professional growth along with parenthood.
