About
There's been a revolution in negotiating tactics.
The world's best negotiators have moved beyond How to Win Friends & Influence People and Getting to Yes. For over twenty years. David Sally has been teaching the art of negotiation at leading business schools and to executives at top companies. Now, he delivers the proven, clear, actionable insights you need to stay competitive in an ever-changing marketplace.
One Step Ahead offers the fundamental wisdom that elevates the sophisticated negotiator above everyone else. Readers will gain the advantage in everything from determining when to negotiate and deciphering a game strategically, to understanding which personality traits matter, why emotions are not necessarily to be avoided, and how to be tough and fair. You'll learn to be round on the outside and square on the inside, how to command the idiom, why to avoid bumping into the furniture, and how to achieve mastery of the word and the number. While all of life is not a negotiation, Sally says, a negotiation incorporates all of life-One Step Ahead is for anyone and everyone who bargains, parents, manages, buys, sells, emotes, and engages.
Based on cutting-edge studies and real-world results, and drawing parallels to everything from the NBA to the corner con game to Machiavelli, Xi Jinping, and Barack Obama, One Step Ahead upends conventional wisdom to make sure that you have what it takes to stay one step ahead-no matter whom you are facing across the table.

"One Step Ahead helped me realize who I truly was as a negotiator. It was my good fortune to successfully operate in the most dire life and death situations in what remains one of the world's most complex regions. Thank you, David, for having the skill and understanding to break down the inner workings of my efforts in a way I had yet to experience in the written word."
