About this title

Synopsis:

Let's face it. In this chaotic world of teams, matrix management, and horizontal organisations, it's tougher than ever to get things done. How do you lead when you're not the one in charge? How can you be effective when joint action is needed? You need an edge in order to reach solutions and effectively work with others.

Review:

"This timely, practical, skill-based book beautifully answers the typical seminar complaint, This is good, but the person who really needs it is not here.' It'll inspire you with the power of example, clear thinking, and the tools to pull off successful, sustainable collaboration with or without formal authority."-- Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People""Negotiation master Roger Fisher has done it again. "Getting It Done" is a highly useful, clear, no-nonsense guide to successful persuasion and influence. It should become the best friend to managers, professionals, and ambitious working people everywhere."-- Rosabeth Moss Kanter, author of "World Class" and "Rosabeth Moss Kanter on the Frontiers of Management""Profound lessons made simple by one of the world's great teachers."-- Ronald A. Heifetz, author of "Leadership Without Easy Answers""To get the work done today, you must be able to collaborate. Roger Fisher and Alan Sharp have provided the best road map that I have seen for collaborating, navigating, and leading your way through ambiguity and unclear lines of authority."-- Philip J. Harkins, president and CEO, Linkage Incorporated"Improving the way we work with others requires changing both their habits and our own. "Getting It Done" shows how to produce the kind of joint behavior that produces results."-- Robert B. Cialdini, author of "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion""This book is must reading for those seeking to maximize their contribution to the constructive work of the world."-- Charles T. Munger, vice chairman, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
