Het leven is een aaneenschakeling van onderhandelingen. Van kleine dagelijkse beslissingen tot de grote momenten in je leven: je onderhandelt elke keer als je iemand probeert te overtuigen, als je een besluit neemt of een conflict probeert op te lossen. Erica Ariel Fox is specialist op het gebied van onderhandelen en leiderschap en betoogt in dit boek dat de belangrijkste onderhandelingen in het leven de onderhandelingen zijn die je met jezelf voert. Want vaak is er een groot verschil tussen dat wat we doen en zeggen en dat wat we zóúden willen doen en zeggen. Fox noemt dit de ‘Performance gap’ en ze laat zien hoe je hiermee om kunt gaan: of je nu te maken hebt met een stellige baas of een lastige klant, een eigenwijs kind of een partner met een andere mening. De oplossing is namelijk vaak dezelfde: leer eerst jezelf te overtuigen. ‘Het grootste probleem in onderhandelingen is niet de tegenpartij. Je bent het zelf. De kracht van dit boek is dat het ons leert naar binnen te kijken en zo onszelf te leren begrijpen.’ – William Ury, coauteur van Excellent onderhandelen (Getting to Yes) ‘Er zijn maar weinig boeken die de taal van het zakenleven en de taal van persoonlijke groei zo overtuigend combineren als dit baanbrekende boek.’ – Doug Stone, coauteur van Moeilijke gesprekken

Negociar con eficacia es crucial para dirigir con inteligencia y ser feliz. Cómo dejar de ser su propio peor enemigo en las negociaciones y en la vida. Liderar y vivir implica estar negociando continuamente y emplear una estrategia con la que ambas partes salgan ganando. Sin embargo, tradicionalmente hemos soslayado el hecho de que las negociaciones que más impacto tienen en nuestra capacidad de liderar son las que mantenemos con nosotros mismos. ¿Qué significa «negociar con uno mismo»? Es lo que ocurre cuando usted quiere seguir trabajando pero al mismo tiempo desearía cumplir su promesa de cenar con la familia; o cuando una parte de usted quiere darle una nueva oportunidad a una relación, mientras la otra sabe a ciencia cierta que ha llegado el momento de decir adiós. Más allá del sí le ofrece una hoja de ruta para negociar con usted mismo, echar mano de la sabiduría innata que reside en su interior y aclarar sus ideas. Tanto si tiene problemas con un cliente complicado como si ha surgido una pequeña discrepancia con su cónyuge, cuando comprenda y domine lo que Erica Ariel Fox llama sus «negociadores internos», será capaz de superar rupturas y llegar a acuerdos, controlando a su peor enemigo: usted mismo.

Winning from Within by leadership and negotiation expert Erica Ariel Fox presents a contemporary approach for getting more of what you want, improving relationships, and enjoying life’s deeper rewards. With principles developed while teaching negotiation at Harvard Law School and coaching executives around the world, Fox provides a map for understanding your inner world and a method for sorting yourself out. Fox uses insights from Western psychology and Eastern philosophy to resolve the gap between what people know they should say and what they actually do. She explains how to master your “inner negotiators,” whether working with a difficult client, struggling with a stubborn spouse, or developing your highest leadership potential. With a Foreword by William Ury, coauthor of the classic bestseller Getting to Yes, Winning from Within: A Breakthrough Method for Leading, Living, and Lasting Change is your guide to greatness.

The enhanced digital edition of Winning from Within features twelve exclusive video exercises not available in other editions of the book. In each video, negotiations and leadership expert Erica Ariel Fox offers practical tips, techniques, and stories to help you internalize this breakthrough method for creating lasting change in both your professional and your personal life. Whether you run a Fortune 500 company or serve as CEO of your household, negotiating effectively is crucial to leading wisely and living well. Leading and living are a series of constant negotiations. Consider what goes on during your typical week: Can you influence your client to accept your proposal? Will you persuade colleagues to give you the resources you need to finish your project? How will you ask your neighbor to switch carpool days so that you will finally have time to get to the gym? According to conventional wisdom, a "win-win" outcome is the hallmark of success. However, until now, advice on getting there has overlooked one crucial element. It turns out that the most important negotiations you have, the ones that drive the impact of your leadership and the quality of your life, are the ones you have with yourself. What does negotiating with yourself mean? It's what happens when you want to stay at the office, but also want to keep your promise to the family to get home in time for dinner. Or when one side of you votes to roll the dice and go for your dream job, while another worries about paying the mortgage. It's what you do when one part of you wants to give your relationship every chance to work, while another knows that this time it's really over. When you're of more than one mind about what to do, negotiating with yourself is an essential skill. Should you say yes or no, or should you stall for time? Offer an olive branch or lay down the law? Speak your mind or hold your peace? When you know how to win the tug-of-wars inside of you, then you can "get to yes" in lasting and transformational ways. With honesty, humor, and fresh ideas, Winning from Within gives you a clear road map for knowing your inner world and a method for sorting yourself out. Whether you're struggling with a difficult customer or arguing with your spouse, by understanding what leadership and negotiation expert Erica Ariel Fox calls your "inner negotiators," you'll learn to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs. With the insight and tools to get out of your own way, you'll find new avenues to realizing your dreams.
