Whether negotiating a multi-million
dollar contract, terms with a new supplier, a raise with the boss, or your
child’s allowance, everyone finds themselves striking partnerships and
“making deals” on a daily basis.
In The Seven Strategies of
Master Negotiators author Brad McRae interviews 21 of Canada’s top negotiators
to gain insight into their negotiating secrets. Combined with his own experience
teaching thousands of people to negotiate, he presents the seven key strategies
that can make you a Master Negotiator.
McRae’s interviews with high-profile
Canadians from various backgrounds and disciplines demonstrate these skills
in action. Discover how:
-
Isadore Sharp made the Four
Seasons synonymous with luxury business travel throughout the world
-
Major-General Lewis MacKenzie
re-opened the Sarajevo Airport to bring supplies to war-torn Bosnia
-
Janet Conners succeeded in her
fight to bring compensation to those secondarily infected with HIV through
tainted blood
-
Buzz Hargrove reached agreements
with the Big Three auto manufacturers without resorting to strikes
-
Frank King brought the Winter
Olympics to Calgary in 1988 with a $46 million dollar surplus, and
-
Frank McKenna, former premier
of New Brunswick, created over 8,000 jobs on the way to creating his province
as a “have” province.
This entertaining and insightful
book gives you everything you need to join the ranks of the Master Negotiators.

It
is of course flattering to appear in such illustrious company, but I do
believe that the idea of providing real life examples of what has been
accomplished in Canada is a singular contribution and source of encouragement
to others. The many helpful ideas you offer bring the subject to
a useable and practical level - from what others have done, to how the
reader can approach his/her situation.
