LifeandLeadership.com Summary
Written out the context of training nurses to deal with physicians and health care management, this book explores the gnarly process of resolving conflicts in situations where imbalances of power hamper constructive outcomes. The author outlines “ten ways of being” to responsibly address inequalities and diversity. This book is worth its weight in gold for anyone who is tempted to follow the paths of manipulation and maneuvering out of frustration over unsuccessful attempts at relationship improvement. I constantly recommend this book to ministers, male and female, who work in situations where those they work with do not welcome them as competent, trusted partners but operate from demoralizing, controlling postures.

Substantially revised and expanded, this new edition will help open minds and balance the negotiation process. Throughout the book, Kritek challenges traditional approaches to dealing with inequities at the negotiation table and offers alternatives for reframing the process.
