| Difficult Conversations, How to Discuss What Matters Most |
1999, Viking Press - Stone, Douglas; Patton, Bruce; Heen, Sheila (Harvard Negotiation Project). This book is great reading for a collaborative professional as well as any individual. It starts, "Asking for a raise. Ending a relationship. Getting a critical performance review. Saying no to someone in need... At work, at home and across the backyard fence, difficult conversations are attempted or avoided every day." |
| Collaborative Divorce: The Revolutionary New Way to Restructure Your Family, Resolve Legal Issues, and Move On With Your Life |
Tesler, Pauline and Thompson, Peggy. This is the other book for individuals who are considering the collaborative divorce option. It is somewhat longer than the book by Stu Webb. It is written for the non-professional (although any collaborative professional should also read this book)
|
| Getting Past No, Negotiating Your Way From Confrontation to Cooperation |
Ury, William L., (1993, Bantam, Doubleday Dell Pub.), Getting to Yes (see above under Fisher). (For the collaborative professional). The most recent of these books is The Power of a Positive No: How to Say No and Still Get to Yes (February 2007). |
| Beyond Reason: Using Emotions as You Negotiate |
Roger Fisher (co-author of Getting to Yes) and Daniel Shapiro. This 2006 book is excellent reading for a collaborative professional. However, as with such books as Difficult Conversations, Getting to Yes, etc., it is a great book for anyone to read. The preface states, "Whether negotiating with an angry boss or an outraged teenager, emotions can derail you. Properly treated, however, they can help you achieve the results you want. This book shows you how." |
Taking the War Out of the Words: The Art of Powerful Non-Defensive Communication
|
Sharon Ellison (2002). This is an excellent resource for collaborative professionals and for individuals going through a collaborative divorce (or even seeking to avoid a divorce) is Taking the War out of the Words. The tenants work equally well in negotiating traditional adversarial negotiation but are especially well geared toward collaborative representation. It is recommended that you consider listening to this book on CD.
