I took Dan's course at Harvard, it is life changing. Dan is without exception one of the most exceptional people I have ever had the privilege to meet.

tribe effect 1. vertigo 2. taboo topics 3. repetition compulsion 4. assault on sacred sacred, appreciation and over appreciation, listen nad ask open ended question 5. identify politics

What an absolute gift it was to be able to, in effect, sit in the same room with all of these brilliant minds listening to a brilliant mind share his ideas on improving all aspects of our interpersonal relationships. Thank you so much Dan. Thank you so much Google.

Dan Shapiro has that rare trait of captivating public speech. It is clear why: He is incredibly passionate about what it is he is lecturing on. I couldn't stop watching after clicking on this vid randomly!

Great talk - people need to be heard, understood and valued !! With this the Nonnegotiable just became Negotiable !

I think this talk is among the most valuable I've ever watched. Two points struck me however as information that is under our noses, but we largely reject (maybe because it does not fit into a preferred, subjective, world view). These are: (1) Successful group dynamics can be "boring" rather than "exciting", and in seeking the excitement of conflict, we get conflict. (48:00 A boring debrief may be an excellent thing!); (2) A successful tribe aligns behind a strong leader and defers to the leader's views (50:00), which may explain the rampant and otherwise inexplicable success of certain tribes (leaders); it may actually be counter-productive to conflate success of the tribe with the moral values of the tribe, and more valuable to seek to put more scrutiny on the values of the leader. Good followers may align behind morally bad leaders. Strong systems require followers to fall in line faithfully. A sustainable (civilized) system would go further and provide a separate and distinct process to keep leaders in check. This would explain the endurance of conflict-inclined leaders. Or am I mistaken?

Good observations. I believe the correlation you note goes something like this: power attracts confident and assertive people. Confidence and assertiveness do not correlate well to honesty and integrity. Remember that 'democracy' was long considered a four letter word for this reason. Masses are attracted to confident leaders, and susceptible to predictable deceptions. And that is, in fact the purpose of republican structures, to shift voting away from opinion polling and towards character polling.

Dan Shapiro gives good advice on how to deal with sacred emotional issues, specifically to ask for advice and listen. Seek to understand rather than be a judgmental self appointed judge condemning others and causing conflicts to escalate to violence/war.

was looking for dan shapiro from glowforge (and author of Hot Seat: The Start CEO Guidebook).. stumbled upon this video and decided to watch it.. Did NOT disappoint.. one of the best talks I've seen from talks at google.. ( or more accurately, one of the most personally useful talks). TY!

I love his way of giving this talk!

I wonder if anybody succeeded to apply these insights - he is a great presenter, presents nice insights, but are they any good practically? Does anybody actually manage to put his group identity aside and to step outside of his tribe so to speak? Also he keeps mentioning a session that he gave at Sharm-el-sheikh, did that manage to move anything tangible?

#4 reminds me of a less detailed version of the book why we are polarized because that thing has become part of their identity and they feel personally attacked and go into survival mode

This is exactly the right way to give a talk on this type of topic. You need to make it emotionally engaging for the attendants and that's the only way they'll pay attention. Especially as the topic is related to the way people get emotionally entrenched in negotiations.

I love the passion of this talk. Thanks for posting.

Great talk! I really liked tat incident about tat old 60s guy. I really had a professor like tat!

I've just started reading his and Rodger Fisher's book on how to use emotions during negotiations. Brilliant and helpful material. Available in Russian)

Was an amazing talk. Deeply perspective and love the way Dan expressses with so much energy and enthusiasm

He may be a passionate speaker, but oh God was the talk thin in content.

Dan Shapiro gives you a key to open the door to continue collaboration as it stucks by conflict. I recommend it to everyone who is aware that collaboration and conflict come together and that without collaboration you can't create profound solutions for fundamental conflicts.

Excellent talk!

this is one of the funniest but informative talks!!

This is very helpful context for US to understand that Taiwan is such an “nonnegotiable sacred” emotional issue for most Chinese. Thanks to Dan Shapiro for helping Americans to understand others to prevent unnecessary nuclear wars.

It was so funny that at some point I thought I'm watching a standup show. Thanks to all

Amazing talk!

that was wonderful

Hello Sir ...Can you ask Sir Shapiro ? Is it the one who facilitate my working visa in UK?

the guy at the beginning is so sunny he couldnt take his own shine he wore a shade

Thanks for posting the wonderful passionate talk.Negotiation is possible, if the other party comes to the Negotiation table. If the other party with a tribes mindset, closes the door, how can we negotiate the unnegotiable ?

Thanks for your question, Venkatesh! A few ideas: 1. Recognize there is power in one. Although it takes only one to try to sabotage a negotiation, it also takes only one to work to build cooperative relations. Just as hard as the other side may try to make the situation adversarial you can try to proactively work to build cooperation relations. Rather than playing their game, you can play your own cooperative one and invite them in. A simple way to do that is to ask for the other's advice. "Look, we could argue and battle over positions all day, but I'm not sure that's going to get us anywhere. What's your advice on how we might better deal with the problems between us?" (They still may resist, but you are now taking more control over the negotiation process.) 2. Know your walk-away alternative. Sometimes people do close the door to you -- or threaten to. So before you even walk into a negotiation with the other side, it's helpful to think through: What's your walk-away alternative? If the other side acts like a jerk, what else might you do to get your interests met? In other words: What can you do away from the negotiating table, WITHOUT their permission? (If you don't like a car dealer, you can walk to a neighboring lot; that's power to you!) 3. If you are seeking to negotiation with someone adversarial who holds power over you, there are still a lot of things you can do. I talk about a number of ideas in Negotiating the Nonnegotiable on how to negotiate when there are power asymmetries. On p. 126, for example, some ideas include building a coalition of people who hold your perspectives -- so you are now more powerful than before, etc... Anyway, hope this is helpful. We certainly need more thinking in the field on your exact question, as it is critical for helping people in all walks of life. I'd love to hear others' thoughts -- how shoudl you dela with a closed-minded negotiating counterpart?

One of the best talks i have ever heard!

I learned a lot, thank you so much

The tree incident gave me brain freeze,my mind screaming, move the point you look from.

Excellent talk, love how all the "smart" Googlers got totally sucked in by Dan. Funny, but educational.

Say what you are seeing about their emotions. You hear and see a person say "I don't want to be in a tribe with that man!" Maybe see if that person is angry. And talk about their emotion. Then repeat paraphrase back and make sure you're on the same wave length. You're fighting their emotion. Not their stance.

Btw, I loved this talk 😂👏🏽

thanks for the video

The point about appreciation is very important - and, by the way, we don't need to fake it most of the time. There are those times when we have to fake it but those involve clinically mentally ill people. BTW, if you think your cousin from the Midwest who will vote for Trump as clinically insane then you're not appreciating his point of view with the needed honesty.

Another blindspot of some Americans unaware of Chinese history and culture, is “being right” about human rights.

This stuff is so stupid. I could never work at Google if they take this nonsense seriously.

hair could be better

This was the most disappointing Google speaker ever. Did he even provide one specific strategy on how to negotiate better besides endlessly repeating that there are taboo subjects. Okay so how do we resolve them? Also I wonder how many senior leaders in Davos tune out when he puts them through a high school level type of role playing. If you want better speakers listen to Deepak Malhotra, William Ury and even Christopher Voss. With incompetent people like Shapiro involved in facilitating Middle East discussion no wonder there has been no peace there.

I couldn't get through 3 minutes of this talk. This guy is so cringey and for someone who specializes in Psych, he sure doesn't show it. "Who didn't get invited to this party? This loser hereeee." And chastising a guy for getting to his seat AFTER telling people to move their seats? Please show some more tact.

I know right. He's obviously someone of a markedly mediocre social intellect. Definitely didn't make his name giving lectures. He had some good points though. Granted they could have been condensed into 1/10th of his hyperactive junior high student ramble. Reminded me a narrative therapy sort of approach.

It seems as though you have a very specific idea of how presenters or people should show up in the world. If this is who he is authentically and you’re asking him to be somebody different, then how was he supposed to do that?

If people believe in free will they should obligate themselves to be antinatalists. This due to the fact that they can then choose to not want to be a burden to any living creature. So selfdetermination will be the only logical position to hold if the are not evil by definition.
