This audiobook will walk us through initial simple two party negotiations to multi-party negotiations, disputes, and mediation. These are basic principles taught in business school, in management seminars, and in leadership programs. Many of the principles are derived from countless books on the subject matter that were prolific in the 1980s and 1990s, and some as far back as the turn of the 20th century. You should be able to listen through this in one day, but make sure to bookmark the sections that you want to come back to, and come back to them often.

How do you teach leadership? You could take a class, buy several opinionated books by authors who've "been there", or participate in leadership seminars, workshops, or programs sponsored by your company - if they are available. These cost too much, and in the end the principles of leadership are the same ones taught decades ago. This audiobook is all you need to learn the key principles of leadership and for pennies on the dollar compared to what's out there. In this audiobook you'll learn the theories and principles of motivation, decision making, influencing others, and more.
