100-Sum Game

Idil Karateke
If you believe negotiation and persuasion interactions should mirror a Zero-Sum Game, where one party gains while their counterpart gives something away, you're wrong. So, what is the right way to persuade the unpersuadable, regardless of your industry, title, or context? Introducing 100-Sum Game, a podcast where we’ll have genuine conversations with negotiation experts and value creators from a different industry each episode - from management consulting to forensics - to discuss negotiating within their niche, the tricks of their trade, and creating 100% win-win outcomes.
