Palo Alto, CA—Jotham Stein, author of Negotiate Like a CEO: How to Get Ahead with Lesson Learned from Top Entrepreneurs and Executives, was interviewed by Neil Tyra on the Law Entrepreneur podcast.   

A graduate of Stanford Law School and Princeton University, Stein has more than two decades of experience in executive law, representing individuals from all walks of life, including entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, and less senior employees of all size companies. In his career he has negotiated robust employment agreements, separation agreements, M & A agreements, change in control agreements, stock option agreements, restricted stock agreements, management carve out agreements, non-compete agreements, and much more.

In this episode, Neil and Jotham discuss:

  1. Why Jotham wrote Negotiate Like a CEO and how it can help all lawyers.
  2. The purpose of a PIP (performance improvement plan) and how they are often used.
  3. What to look for in an offer letter or in a separation agreement.
  4. The importance of leverage in negotiation.

Key Takeaways:

  1. As the entrepreneurial space has grown and evolved, so too have the legal needs of those in the entrepreneurial space.
  2. The most important thing you should look for is how to protect yourself in employment in your offer letter.
  3. That includes having a severance agreement negotiated on day 1 if you have any leverage at all.
  4. There may be a red flag (depending on context) if you get push back when you try to negotiate your offer letter.
  5. Negotiating techniques are the same regardless of what you are negotiating for.

"It's the concept to protect yourself, to read everything or get a good adviser to read everything, to negotiate with leverage, just like a CEO would negotiate with leverage. I wrote this book to help the people out there who have no idea how to help themselves in their employment relationships," says Stein. "Too many just don't know how or are too afraid to ask." — Jotham Stein


"As a hi-tech Silicon Valley attorney Stein is brutally honest in assessing a situation and advising his clients. In Negotiate Like a CEO you'll learn to be aware, to recognize potential employment pitfalls, and how to protect yourself. You'll also learn that you may have more leverage than you might think, either now or as you advance in your career." —Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer

"As a CEO and multi-time Silicon Valley executive, I was very fortunate to learn from Jotham early in my career the great importance of the protective employment offer letter. Employment law is very complex and with this book you can learn from the best." —Bonnie Crater, co-founder and CEO, Full Circle Insights; former SVP salesforce.com; former SVP Genesys; former VP Oracle; former VP Netscape
