Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m walking into this dead certain it’s one fixed pie
- The whole thing has collapsed down to one number and we’re just staring each other down over price, so whatever I gain they lose
- I’m walking into this thing braced for a fight, certain that whatever they get is coming straight out of my pocket
- I’m good at the collaborative part — I help grow the deal and everyone’s warm — and then I’m so worried about seeming greedy that I walk away with the short end while they take most of what we built.
- We’re treating this like there’s one pie to fight over and someone has to lose
Practices that may help
- Win-Win Thinking: Expanding the Pie
Win-win (integrative) thinking treats negotiation as a chance to create value before dividing it, instead of fighting over a fixed pie (distributive bargaining). By trading across differences in what each side values, both can come out better than a simple compromise — a well-supported idea in negotiation research, though it requires the right conditions to work. - Negotiate from abundance, not scarcity
Question the assumption that what one side gains the other must lose.
The Third Alternative, Made Practical - Add issues to expand the pie
Bring more variables in — timing, scope, future work — so there’s more to trade.
Win-Win Thinking: Expanding the Pie - Reject the fixed-pie assumption
Stop assuming your gain must be their loss — most negotiations have hidden joint gains.
Win-Win Thinking: Expanding the Pie - Expanding the Pie: Negotiation Beyond Splitting the Difference
Expanding the pie means trading across issues that the two parties value differently, so both sides gain more than any fixed compromise would allow. Malhotra and Bazerman’s research shows that most negotiators leave joint gains on the table because they treat every issue as a zero-sum battle. - Create value first, then claim your share
Expand the pie before you fight over slices — but don’t forget to take your slice.
Win-Win Thinking: Expanding the Pie - Invent options for mutual gain
Brainstorm multiple possible deals before deciding, expanding the pie before splitting it.
Getting to Yes: Principled Negotiation - Bridge disagreements with contingent terms
When you disagree about the future, bet on it — tie terms to what actually happens.
Win-Win Thinking: Expanding the Pie - Trade across differing priorities
Give on what you value less to get what you value more — and have them do the same.
Win-Win Thinking: Expanding the Pie - Use a post-settlement settlement to improve a deal after agreement
Once you have a deal, offer to keep exploring whether a better one exists for both sides.
