Arguing that we need to move beyond one-shot
"solutions" toward a constructive way of dealing with differences, they
lay out tools for conflict analysis and practical applications for those
tools in the international arena. The authors also show that tactics
which successfully influence an adversary are equally applicable to the
task of persuading an employer, a community official, or a business
associate. Originally drafted as a handbook for the diplomats and
senior officials advised by Fisher and his colleagues, this succinct,
lucid, and effective book is the primer about the new paradigm in
conflict management.
Coping With International Conflict: A Systematic
Approach to Influence in International Negotiation, Roger Fisher (Editor), Andrea Kupfer Schneider, Elizabeth
Borgwardt. List: $29.33 ~ Our Price: $29.33. This text combines the clear, concise, proven principles and practice
of conflict management from Fisher's bestseller Getting to Yes with
the newest problem-solving approaches to international relations.
Many of the concepts presented grew out of materials Fisher and his
colleagues use in their international consulting work to teach
problem-solving and conflict management skills to diplomats and
heads of state involved in contentious international disputes.
Exercises, applications, examples, readings, and anecdotes guide
readers through the processes of diagnosing and prescribing
approaches to real-world conflicts.
Mediator's Handbook, Jennifer E. Beer, Eileen Stief. List: $19.95 ~ Our Price: $15.96 ~ You Save: $3.99 (20%). Developed by Friends Conflict Resolution Programs. THE FIELD OF MEDIATION has expanded dramatically since Friends Conflict Resolution Programs published the original
MediatorĖs Handbook in 1982, the first "how-to" mediation manual available to the public. Since then, mediation has
evolved from an alternative approach to conflict resolution for community activists to a process that has become part of our
everyday landscape.
Continuously in print for fifteen years, The Mediator's Handbook provides a time-tested, flexible model for effective
mediation in diverse environments and situations. Jennifer Beer is a creative thinker. Don't expect dry advice you already understand. Expect to be stimulated and challenged.
The new edition of the Handbook provides a clear overview of mediation
and conflict; a section that walks through each step in the mediation process; a large "Toolbox" section that details the skills
and approaches used by professional mediators; and a final section that looks at informal mediation. Whether new to the art
of mediation or an experienced professional, people working in corporations, government agencies, community organizations,
schools, and any other situation where there is a need to build bridges between diverse perspectives will find The Mediator's
Handbook a valuable resource.
Managing Differences: How to Build Better Relationships at Work and Home, Daniel Dana. List: $19.95 ~ Our Price: $19.95. Nothing in life is more important than getting along with people. Our
success at work and our happiness at home depend on our ability to
communicate with others -- especially when differences get in the
way.
Managing Differences shows you step-by-step how to harness the
magical power of mediation to turn conflict into cooperation in
everyday life. You will learn to use the simple yet powerful
communication tool, Do-it-yourself Mediation ("Doing mediation
without a third party"). It also outlines Managerial Mediation
("Doing mediation without being a mediator"), and introduces
Second-nature Mediation ("Doing mediation without doing
mediation").
Because it is so easy to read and its message is so practical, the first
edition of Managing Differences (published in five languages) has
served as a sourcebook for a wide variety of training and
educational programs, from community workshops to corporate
HRD to university MBA courses. The expanded second edition
contains real-life cases written by readers of the first edition
describing how they used Do- it-yourself Mediation to resolve
conflicts at work and at home. It is ideal for staff development, and
invaluable for personal growth.
Daniel Dana -- "The Conflict Doctor" -- is the Thomas Edison of
interpersonal communication, inventing practical tools that help
people get more out of their relationships at work and home. This
book is essential reading for all who have a personal or professional
interest in better communication. It will brighten your day!
