People tend to dislike the process of negotiation and often with good reason. They go up against jerks who present low-ball offers, make ultimatums, and try to take advantage of them. Some people feel they have to act like a jerk in response. Others are too nice and give away the store. In a new work, Barry Nalebuff asserts that there is a better way, an approach that brings principles and logic into the negotiation.

This process involved digging through mountains of research and interviewing countless experts, including scientists, historians, a former CIA case officer. He also encountered a researcher who has been discovering amazing connections showing how speech is connected to our physical and...

When faced with conflict, humans often fight or flee. But Julia Minson (HKS) and Francesca Gino (HBS) tell us there is a better strategy: to engage in the disagreement with an open mind and be ready to learn. Drawing on Julia’s research on receptiveness to opposing views and their joint work on the language we need to use to show others we are listening, Julia and Francesca will talk about how to disagree more productively.
