Negotiating at an Uneven Table: Developing Moral Courage in
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Negotiating at an Uneven Table has become a vital tool for my personal self actualization, professional communication, and daily growth. After reading this book, it is clear to see that most, if not all, tables are uneven. Regardless of which side of the table your on, Dr. Kritek provides tools for honest and successful negotiation. Her examples of the valleys and mountain top experiences and tables of life bring the actual events of life into a different and clearer perspective. Her words are honest and direct while being full of compassion. The chapter regarding manipulation has been espicially critical in assisting me identifing common techniques used by myself and others to control life. I strongly suggest this book for anyone sincerely interested in becoming a more honest, compassionate, and fullfilled person. Regardless of your profession, negotiation is a part of living and daily communication. Dr. Kritek provides a perspective to understand what is occouring and how to arrive at a win-win outcome. If winning is not an option, she helps to identify this reality and show you when to walk away.

Kritek tackles the subject of power within the healthcare system in this sometimes uncomfortable but necessary book. Speaking honestly about the real struggles for providers and consumers alike, she sets an example for any who are willing to drop the masks and negotiate successfully both with others and themselves. Kritek chooses her words carefully, perhaps to the chagrin of some, and illustrates her lessons shared and learned with some of the most profound images and stories. My favorite is a story of an artist's approach to an old wise man, whom he asks about the nature of good and evil. The response is worth reading, and is but one of many lasting images that continue to impact my work and life journey. A must-read for anyone serious about integrating personal and professional development.
