How to be a Better Negotiator
John Mattock · 1996
65/100
👎 Skip It
A solid 1996 workplace primer built around real checklists and the Win-Win model, but the dossier turns up no independent critical press and the content is now thirty years old in a crowded field. Professionals who encounter this in a library or bundle will get useful basics, but there are better-evidenced modern alternatives worth seeking first.
