Reading Not for the Faint of Heart
The art of diplomacy requires competence, patience, empathy and above all, authenticity. In Not for the Faint of Heart, Ambassador Wendy Sherman argues that we can learn this skill—so vital for interactions in your personal life, at work, or on the world stage—by building on qualities we can develop on our own. The same skills needed to negotiate a multilateral nuclear deal are applicable in your own life, whether you're buying a home, negotiating your salary, or making decisions with your partner.
In this book, Sherman shares stories of her time in the State Department negotiating the most sensitive issues of our time, along with personal stories that show how our private experiences affect our professional lives. She argues that we negotiate best when we are our authentic selves, not reliant on stratagems or manipulation but on all of the skills we've gained through our experiences.
