Derek Arden is a power negotiator. This book is written from experience gained negotiating at all levels of corporate and social life. It is packed with insights from helping others to negotiate and full of helpful tips that can be readily applied.

For company directors, negotiation is a regular necessity and this book contains sufficient examples of different negotiation styles and types to assist with most board-level negotiation scenarios, whether negotiating the CEO’s remuneration, reaching group consensus for board decisions or working as the team at the top when engaged in a complicated merger.

This book addresses the issue of power and its effect upon negotiations, techniques and tactics. It does not cut the complexity by assuming that all sides in a negotiation start with equal bargaining power, Instead, it provides the tools required to effectively use the balance of power when it is in your favour or negate it when it is not. The strategies for creating options are valid and apply in myriad scenarios.

The section on questioning is one of the best I have encountered. High-quality questions take careful preparation. Under pressure, without preparation, it is usually difficult to ask the real well constructed tough questions, in a gentle non-offensive way. The questions that will seek out the answer you need to hear to determine the truth. This book sets out a valid technique for developing high-quality questions.

Having asked the right questions it is important to then listen well to the answers. Observing means listening carefully, watching the accompanying body language for congruence and noticing what is not said. Derek’s advice will serve directors well in normal board meetings as well as in negotiations. Again, the sound academic theory is backed up by personal experience and will be easily applied. I hope I will never have to manage nine hours of silence whilst waiting for the answers (it could make board meetings far too long) but the knowledge that sometimes this is what is required to give the other party space will, if applied, make for better sharing of ideas and better generation of outcomes.

The book is a gem, packed with nuggets of information, insights and practical tips. It is written to assist the reader in taking and applying the learnings and will benefit the entire board even if only one director reads it!
