  • Never Lose A Negotiation Again | Book Review of Never Split The Difference

    This is a book review of Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss.

    After a stint policing the rough streets of Kansas City, Missouri, Chris Voss joined the FBI, where his career as a hostage negotiator brought him face-to-face with a range of criminals, including bank robbers and terrorists. Reaching the pinnacle of his profession, he became the FBI's lead international kidnapping negotiator. Never Split the Difference takes you inside the world of high-stakes negotiations and into Voss's head, revealing the skills that helped him and his colleagues succeed where it mattered most: saving lives. In this practical guide, he shares the nine effective principles—counterintuitive tactics and strategies—you too can use to become more persuasive in both your professional and personal life.

    The guide to shortening your execution cycle down from one year to twelve weeks

    Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a twelve-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.

    • Explains how to leverage the power of a 12 week year to drive improved results in any area of your life
    • Offers a how-to book for both individuals and organizations seeking to improve their execution effectiveness
    • Authors are leading experts on execution and implementation

    Turn your organization's idea of a year on its head, and speed your journey to success.
