Find out what it takes to win high-stakes negotiations and uncover tactics to help you get more of what you want in business and your career.

In hostage situations, successful negotiations often mean the difference between life and death. Similarly, in business and in our careers, thoughtful discussions can make or break favorable outcomes. When the stakes are high or emotions boil over, it can be difficult to know what to say, or how to bring others together with you down a shared path.
