Fisher & Ury's "Getting to Yes"

"Getting to Yes" by Fisher and Ury presents a method for effective negotiation focused on collaboration and mutual benefit. It emphasizes separate the people from the problem, focusing on interests rather than positions. Negotiators should generate options that satisfy both sides’ underlying needs and seek objective criteria for fairness. The goal is to reach a “win-win” agreement where both parties feel heard and respected, fostering a cooperative relationship. This approach encourages open communication, understanding, and creative problem-solving, making negotiations more productive and less adversarial.
