Getting to resolution

Levine rejects the adversarial model for legal settlement that holds that "if both sides are unhappy, you probably have a good settlement." True resolution, lie maintains, provides relief and completeness for both sides. Levine provides an entirely new approach to resolving conflict in which no one loses and everyone can go forward quickly and productively.

"A marvelous book! By contrasting the old 'win/lose' paradigm with the new 'win/win' paradigin, Levine focuses on a number one problem. Namely, how we solve problems. The mind set, the skill set, and the context are beautifully interwoven in this well-illustrated analysis."
-Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly People

"Getting to Resolution will teach you how to get the best each individual has to offer by providing a behavioral model that promotes individual contribution to problem solving." -Steven J. Noble, Ph.D., Director of Executive Development, Council of Jewish Federations, formerly Executive Director, Human Resource Planning Society
