Editorial Reviews

Review

"This timely, practical, skill-based book beautifully answers the typical seminar complaint, This is good, but the person who really needs it is not here.' It'll inspire you with the power of example, clear thinking, and the tools to pull off successful, sustainable collaboration with or without formal authority."-- Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People""Negotiation master Roger Fisher has done it again. "Getting It Done" is a highly useful, clear, no-nonsense guide to successful persuasion and influence. It should become the best friend to managers, professionals, and ambitious working people everywhere."-- Rosabeth Moss Kanter, author of "World Class" and "Rosabeth Moss Kanter on the Frontiers of Management""Profound lessons made simple by one of the world's great teachers."-- Ronald A. Heifetz, author of "Leadership Without Easy Answers""To get the work done today, you must be able to collaborate. Roger Fisher and Alan Sharp have provided the best road map that I have seen for collaborating, navigating, and leading your way through ambiguity and unclear lines of authority."-- Philip J. Harkins, president and CEO, Linkage Incorporated"Improving the way we work with others requires changing both their habits and our own. "Getting It Done" shows how to produce the kind of joint behavior that produces results."-- Robert B. Cialdini, author of "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion""This book is must reading for those seeking to maximize their contribution to the constructive work of the world."-- Charles T. Munger, vice chairman, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

    This is another hit from the Fisher Factory of small books about big thinking that changes how we work together. No fluff. Plenty of well-written sentences to clip and post as reminders.
    Fisher and Sharp start with the importance of clarifying purpose. They are in good company. Like Bent Flyvbjerg (24 years later), they emphasize thinking before doing. They show how you can lead when you don't occupy the nominal leadership chair. Worth readying and re-reading.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013
    This was a really good, to the point book with a lot of really good advice. It only took about 4 hours to read the whole book and I still use it as a reference when I need advice on certain situations.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2007
    I recently bought this book from Amazon and really liked it. The book breaks down the leadership process and helps the reader to achieve the goals individually and then 'laterally' lead his/her team to achieve the same. Simple advice coupled with relevant examples make it easy to read and implement. Highly recommended for anyone working in a team environment.

    Great for the price, doesn’t take up too much counter space. My only complaint is the hooks for bananas tend to stretch bananas to open
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2009
    This book is awesome, I started reading this book and it started off like it was the place I worked, I am still reading it and marking up the pages. This is truly a good read for a Manager/Supervisor or those in supervisory positions.

  • Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2001
    This is a book about a collaboration technique that is packaged as a book about leadership. Although good leaders collaborate, I felt cheated by what this book turned out to cover. Although the book presents sound principles and correctly advises readers to apply these principles personally before using them in groups, I felt that these principles were obvious, low-level stuff. I wanted something more advanced.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 4, 2014
    A very good book with a short, to-the-point type writing style. Helps to reduce caos and add understanding with common sense and practical examples.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Livre intéressant, quoique hors sujet...
    Reviewed in France on August 25, 2011
    Plus de la moitié du livre couvre le développement de compétences personnelles, abordées dans des tas de bouquins de développement personnel.
    Le coeur du sujet tel qu'il est présenté dans le titre est finalement assez peu traité.
    Le contenu est intéressant, mais légèrement hors sujet et je me sens un peu trompé sur la marchandise.

    3.0 out of 5 stars 本の内容は最高ですが、本の紙の質がちょっと安ぽい
    Reviewed in Japan on June 2, 2020
    この本はAmazon.comではとても人気な本であり、交渉の領域ではとても有名な本ですが、なぜか紙の質と印刷があんまり綺麗ではなく、ちょっと残念です。内容がとても良いので、3つ星とつけさせていただきました。
