Palo Alto, CA—Negotiate Like a CEO: How to Get Ahead with Lessons Learned from Top Entrepreneurs and Executives by Jotham S. Stein has won the Best Business Book award at the Los Angeles Book Festival.
In the midst of The Great Resignation, with the question of remote or office work still in flux, the sage advice within Jotham S. Stein's book is even more valuable. With the hot job market we have today, but with pundits talking about a possible recession looming, it is important for all employees to utilize solid negotiating strategies to ensure their own protection.
What does it mean to negotiate like a CEO? How important are employment agreements? How can you learn to protect yourself and your family if the worst does happen? These are all questions that Jotham S. Stein addresses in his book Negotiate Like a CEO, with the goal of equipping individuals with the tools they need to safeguard themselves in business and employment.
Negotiate Like a CEO isn't afraid to get into the weeds about what you need to do to help your career. Stein peppers each chapter with captivating stories of employees who have found themselves in tight situations with their employer—stories that many readers will find familiar. He follows each example with insider insights on how to navigate the situation and save yourself from heartache.
"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
