Negotiation isn't a transaction - it's a temperament. Across boardrooms, bargaining tables, and locker rooms, the same question defines leadership: How do you hold power without losing people? In Negotiating Power: A 360° Strategy for Leadership, Labor & Legacy, strategist and attorney L. R. DeFell, Esq., MPA reveals how to lead through conflict, navigate opposing interests, and rebuild trust when silence threatens progress.
Drawing from decades in public-sector labor relations, executive negotiations, and high-stakes team dynamics, DeFell introduces the LRD360° Framework - a practical model built on three pillars:
- Loyalty - to mission, not comfort. - Respect - for dissenting voices, not just agreeable ones. - Dignity - in tone and treatment, even when frustration peaks.
Each chapter blends narrative, insight, and strategy - showing how leadership maturity begins when patience replaces panic and purpose replaces pride.
