Delighted to share that this book is out with chapters from me on Madeleine Albright and from Carrie Menkel-Meadow on Kissinger as well as a host of other leaders and authors!  (Scroll to the end for the discount code to order!)

As the editor Remi Smolinski describes it:

After a year and a half of intensive research and project work, I am happy to share that our new book: “Negotiators Who Changed the World: Timeless Lessons on Leadership and Negotiation” has just been published by Springer Nature.

Leadership and negotiation are inseparably connected. The most effective leaders are also great negotiators. They balance interests, build trust, and mobilize people toward shared goals. This book emphasizes that negotiation is not a nice-to-have, peripherial skill, but a core dimension of impactful leadership.

It brings together international scholars and practitioners to explore the strategies, mindsets, and pivotal moments of history’s greatest negotiators, ranging from Confucius and Talleyrand to Nelson Mandela, Henry Kissinger, Angela Merkel, and many others.

In each chapter, we describe how these figures shaped outcomes not only in diplomacy and politics, but also in leadership, conflict resolution, and negotiation more broadly. The goal: to draw lessons that remain highly applicable in today’s world.

Highlights you’ll find inside:

👉 28 chapters covering a wide spectrum of historical negotiators and contexts
👉 Critical strategies, mindsets, and decision-moments
👉 Insights on negotiating with purpose, leading through influence, and using negotiation as a force for good

If you’re interested in leadership, negotiation, diplomacy, or historical lessons for contemporary challenges, I hope you’ll find this book both thought-provoking and practical.
