Book Description
The Law of the Sea (LOS) treaty resuited from some of the most complicated multilateral negotiations ever conducted. Difficult bargaining produced a remarkably sophisticated agreement on the financial aspects of deep ocean mining and on the financing of a new international mining entity. This book analyzes those negotiations along with the abrupt U.S. rejection of their results. Building from this episode, it derives important and subtle general rules and propositions for reaching superior, sustainable agreements in complex bargaining situations.
Sebenius shows how agreements were possible among the parties because and not in spite of differences in their values, expectations, and attitudes toward time and risk. He shows how linking separately intractable issues can generate a zone of possible agreement. He analyzes the extensive role of a computer model in the LOS talks. Finally, he argues that in many negotiations neither the issues nor the parties are fixed and develops analytic techniques that predict how the addition or deletion of either issues or parties may affect the process of reaching agreement.

A must have for every sales person.......2001-02-22
This book is an incredible resource to preparing a world-class sales rep resume. I thought I had a pretty good resume until I got this book. I just received two job offers and in both interviews got great feedback on my resume. I got from this book what would have cost me hundreds of dollars in professional resume writer fees. A great investment for your future!
Strategic yet practical help for getting that job you want.......1999-12-07
I found the book to be very helpful. It is well organized, concise yet insiteful. Very up-to-date with advice on how to get a job in the internet age. The resumes are very effective and offer good examples to craft your own resume from - much more helpful than other books I've read on the subject - most likely due to its targeted nature - sales and marketing resumes. That way I can look at almost any resume and find it helpful instead of wading thru a bunch of general resumes to find one that is applicable.
This comprehensive book is excellent! Unparalleled advice........1999-10-08

Book Description
The principles you live by today create the world you live in: if you change the principles you live by, you can change your world.
In the life-changing tradition of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Power Principle teaches the core principles that dramatically affect our careers and our lives. Dr. Blaine Lee, an extraordinary teacher, shows how principle-centered power is the ability to influence others' behavior, not to control, change, or manipulate it. Power is something other people feel in your presence because of what you are as well as what you can do, what you stand for, and how you live your life. When you honor others, they will honor you. Lee shows you how to overcome powerlessness, create legitimate power and influence with honor, and create a legacy that will outlast you in the lives of the people you care the most about.

Principles and Character give you credibility so that others will trust you.......2007-05-11
Blaine Lee Helps us to understand how although cultural forms change, the basics of personal trust remain the starting point for any relationship, whether personal or commercial. Humbly seeking the welfare of clients and customers will enhance trust and will be capacity for repeat business. Here are a few favorite quotes:
--Up until around World War I, organizations as well as people were strongly concerned with what I like to gall the character ethic." In other words, character traits such as integrity, industry, civility, cooperation, service, modesty, and honor were highly valued. Yet, particularly after the Second World War, this emphasis on character became less and less significant as cosmetic strategies began to emerge. Personality values took center stage and organizations shifted toward exterior rather than interior concerns. Appearance, public images, and attitudes became pivotal and prosperity was primarily seen through quarterly reports.
--"Uncertainty is the opportunity to make the world a better place."
"If we observe the world around us, Americans as individuals seek out risk."
Good thesis but development could have been better.......2005-11-28
Blaine Lee is a vice-president of Franklin Covey--a consulting and empowerment company best known for "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." This book addresses those who want to increase their "power"/effectiveness as it encourages them to develop "principle-centered leadership."
Lee describes the various types of power relationships from powerlessness to agression to negotiation to (finally) principle-centered leadership. His basic premise is the the first three types of power are only useful in the short-term (if they're useful at all) but principle-centered leadership is an effective long-term type of power because people are naturally drawn to people who live a purposeful life toward a goal.
Lee's writing style is light as he makes liberal use of anecdotes, poems, and interesting quotations. These are used in varying degrees of effectiveness. In fact, I found myself more annoyed than inspired by his writing style. Furthermore, he makes the basic assumption that all people are good and just need a little encouragement to be wonderfully introspective yet warm and friendly. This seems to me to be a huge assumption and while Lee does address interpersonal difficulties associated with principle-centered leadership (chapter 13), this book would have been more useful if he spent more time developing these thoughts and less time showing how his leadership style manifests itself in various vocations.
This is not to say that Lee's theory is unworkable or fanciful. In fact, I agree with Lee's basic argument that effectiveness and leadership stem from self-definition (knowing who you are and where you're going). However, I believe that this thesis could have been developed in a more useful way.
If you are thinking about reading this book, I would recommend the "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey first as "The Power Principle" uses it as its base.
A book about choice...............2005-11-03
This book was not written for folks who are dealing with chronic illness. But every person who is dealing with a chronic illness should read it. It is so easy to fall into the victim paradigm of illness. This book will show you, you are not a victim unless you choose to be and how to cope in a positive way. Blaine Lee is an awesome teacher!
Inspiring and Motivational.......2005-03-17
The author tells us, "...as you improve, your capacity to help others will also improve." The material in this book can be a step in that process as it is filled with practical doable ideas. An emphasis on improving the quality of life comes out as the focus is on strengthening relationships.
In being pro-active, he encourages you to recruit a mentor. "Look for and cultivate your own mentor relationship," he advises. Similarly he encourages you to experience adventures outside your comfort zone. Both are to be initiated by the person seeking to improve the quality of his or her life.
Dr. Lee explains that the word "serendipity" has Arabic origins and refers to "happy accidents." By adventuring either geographically or mentally we encounter new experiences and expand. In summary, this is a highly motivational book which will encourage you if you approach it with an open mind.
New power concept.......2004-07-06
The power principle is really a good book, however, it is very difficult in implementing and taking time. Examples in book are still not clear of how to live as a principled-center power. There are many inspring stories but do not clearly present what and how reader should live in the appropriate way.
Good things are all ten principles of power which I totally agree that everyone should follow, however, if the author makes it more conclusion and separate sections to make reader more understand the logic of thinking, the book will be better than it is.
By total, I will try to live in a principle-centered power life. And I love the book.
