Sometimes, however,…

In fact, Steven Covey uses the same “slice of pie” analogy as Firms of Endearment (p. 213) to contrast the scarcity mentality (either/or) with the abundance mentality (both/and). Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury outlines a strategy for approaching negotiation that requires “inventing options for mutual gain”, or in…
