Getting Past No: Negotiating with Difficult People

Everyone knows that it is the give-and-take of negotiation that enables decisions to be made, problems to be solved, needs to be satisfied - in our professional as well as our personal lives. But where does that leave you when you confront someone who has no intention of negotiating fairly or in good faith? How can you find common ground when your opponent - an angry boss, an unreasonable client, a deceitful colleague, an insecure business partner, a stubborn spouse - refuses to give an inch? How, in short, can you get to "yes" when someone else says "no"?
