Rezensionen

“When knowledgeable people complain about power, it is for one of two reasons:
1. They don’t like the way it’s being used. It’s being employed in a manipulative, coercive, or domineering way; power over rather than power to. Power is being abused, and the criticism is valid.
2. They don’t approve of power’s goal. If the desired end or destination is considered corrupt and exploitative, even the most appropriate means won’t make that end acceptable.
Other than in these two instances, I see no objection to the use of power.” (Page 60 of 319)

“You never “complain,” but simply make your needs and circumstances known. (Page 311 of 319)

Soviet Negotiating Style (Chapter 7)
1. Extreme initial positions. They always start with tough demands or ridiculous offers that affect the other side’s expectation level.
2. Limited authority. The negotiators themselves have little or no authority to
make any concessions.
3. Emotional Tactics They get red faces, raise their voices, and act exasperated ‐horrified that they are being taken advantage of. Occasionally they will stalk out of a meeting in a huff.
4. Adversary concessions viewed as weakness. Should you give in and concede them something, they are unlikely to reciprocate.
5. Stingy in their concessions. They delay making any concession and when they finally do, it reflects only a minuscule change in their position.
6. Ignore deadlines. They tend to be patient and act as though time is of no significance to them.

Their are many techniques outlined in the book, but I read a library copy in Hoopla, which does not allow copying of quotes, so my notes are more limited. I was quite annoyed with Hoopla. Kindle is much kinder to the reader.
- Kindle allows copying of quotes. If done on a Mac desktop it even includes a citation.
- Kindle allows viewing of highlights even after the library book is returned by making them visible in Goodreads.

If you ignore the dated bits, the ideas are good

Este libro enseña a dirigir y organizar la vida, consiguiendo lo que se quiere; enseña qué hacer y cómo hacerlo. Desde las relaciones entre padres e hijos hasta los más complejos asuntos internacionales, la negociación siempre es un factor de primera importancia. Se trata de un proceso que podemos comprender y dirigir, una habilidad práctica en la que es posible adiestrarse para aumentar nuestras posibilidades de llegar a ser un triunfador.

Falls in the category of books I wish I'd come across when I was much younger. Also falls in the category of being dated, but the general concepts are still on point and Cohen has a sense of humor (though it's the humor of another time).
