425: A Radical New Way to Negotiate with Barry Nalebuff

Last week we chatted with a Harvard professor. Next week, we’ll chat with a professor at a prestigious college in Canada. This week, we receive a visit from at professor at Yale University. That professor’s name is Barry Nalebuff. One of his early experiences negotiating was when he and a former student sold their tea company to Coca-Cola. It was the first time the theory of splitting the pie—what he was teaching his students—was put to use in the real world. Barry’s new book is called Split the Pie: A Radical New Way to Negotiate. The topic of negotiation has not been one to fascinate me, historically at least. However, I found Barry’s book a fun way to learn about negotiation. Negotiation is often stressful, Barry says. It can bring out the worst in people. But wouldn’t it be better if there were a principled way to negotiate—even better, a way to treat people fairly and get treated fairly in return. Split the Pie does just that. I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Barry and his work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
