Acknowledgements

I would like to thank my wife Kirsten for her unconditional support and encouragement, for helping me through every word of this manuscript and without whom my career and The Gap Partnership would not have been possible.

To Jonny, Andy and Cameron, my three sons for teaching me most of what there is to know about negotiation, power and dependency.

And not least of all to an exceptional team of negotiators from across The Gap Partnership with whom I have shared so many experiences and drawn so much inspiration. They have committed their lives to pushing negotiation capability to a new level, which has allowed me to write this account of the Complete Skilled Negotiator. A philosophy based on the human challenges of negotiating today which they have all helped build and one which serves to inspire our clients around the world, every day.

And with egos detached, I have listed alphabetically.
