Summary of William Ury - Mas allá del "NO" - Negociación
Summary
The video discusses effective negotiation strategies when faced with a counterpart who is uncooperative, emotional, rigid, or uses manipulative tactics. William Ury, the presenter, introduces concepts from his book Getting Past No, emphasizing collaborative rather than confrontational approaches.
Main Financial/Business Strategies and Negotiation Techniques:
- Step aside from direct confrontation: Instead of attacking the other party, align with them to jointly address the problem, similar to martial arts strategies like judo or jiu-jitsu.
- Build a "Golden Bridge": A concept from ancient Chinese military strategy, redefined by Ury as making it easy and attractive for the other side to say "yes" and move toward a mutually beneficial agreement.
- Empathy and perspective-taking: Understand the underlying motivations and interests of the opposing party (e.g., a bully seeks recognition, power, or control).
- Leverage available resources creatively: Use what you control to create incentives for cooperation (e.g., Spielberg turned a bully into a friend by casting him as a war hero in his movie).
Methodology / Step-by-step Guide:
- Step to the other person's side rather than confronting them head-on.
- Identify the underlying interests and motivations behind their behavior.
- Create an attractive path (the "Golden Bridge") that allows them to agree without feeling defeated.
- Use creativity and empathy to offer solutions that satisfy both parties’ needs.
