Study Notes
"Mastering Negotiation: Lessons from Chris Voss's 'Never Split the Difference'"
-
Negotiation is a daily activity that can be mastered by anyone.
-
People operate on an animalistic urge of "I want" and are often driven by emotions, making them irrational.
-
The framing effect is a powerful cognitive bias that affects how people think.
-
Mirroring is a technique in which negotiators match body language, speech tempo, word choice, and tone to build rapport with their opponents.
-
Labeling is a technique in which negotiators identify the emotions of their opponents and verbalize them to show understanding and build trust.
-
"That's right" is a powerful phrase that indicates the counterpart has recognized that the negotiator has empathized with them without judging them.
-
Calibrated questions are open-ended questions that encourage the opponent to engage in active problem-solving.
-
Extreme anchors are outrageous prices that negotiators use to determine the negotiation style of their opponents.
-
There are three main negotiation styles: accommodators, assertive negotiators, and analysts.
-
Negotiation styles cannot be forced onto opponents, and negotiators must anticipate their opponents' moves.
-
Black swan events are unexpected and rare occurrences that can drastically change the outcome of a negotiation.
-
Negotiation requires time, patience, and practice to master, but the techniques can be applied to any situation.Never Split the Difference: Key Tools to Become a Negotiating Master
-
In a hostage situation, negotiators didn't predict the black swan event of the perpetrator being on a suicide mission, leading to a tragic outcome.
-
Chris Voss believes that to avoid such incidents, negotiators must search for the black swans or unknown unknowns by looking at the situation from the opponent's perspective.
-
By understanding the opponent's worldview, religion, morals, and missions, negotiators can identify the unknown unknowns and gain leverage in a deal.
-
Bending the reality of the opponent is crucial in negotiations, and negotiators should avoid rushing and compromising.
-
Deadlines and timelines are effective tools to bend reality for the counterpart and influence their decision-making.
-
The concept of fairness plays a vital role in decision-making, and emotions influence the perception of fairness.
-
The proposer and acceptor theory proves that people's emotions play a role in decision-making, and they would rather walk away with nothing than accept an unfair deal.
-
Empathy, asking questions, establishing trust and rapport, and being honest about what one wants and can do are essential in negotiations.
-
The key to success in negotiations is to treat counterparts and oneself with dignity and respect, listen and speak clearly and empathetically.
-
Negotiation is a series of small conflicts that, when managed well, can lead to creative beauty.
