How 2 Negotiate in the Life of a Startup

The Blank Center’s #How2Tuesday series continues on Tuesday, October 29 at 5pm in the Blank Center Televideo Room: How 2 Negotiate in the Life of a Startup with Samuel Dinnar!

Entrepreneurship is a key component of leadership, both in startups and with corporate change management. A growing number of corporations are strategically emphasizing the importance of innovation, growth, and change, by partnering with innovative startups, acquiring innovations, merging with change-inducing teams, and encouraging internal entrepreneurship. But still, the great majority (80-90%) of all such entrepreneurial efforts fail! During this session, Samuel “Mooly” Dinnar, instructor with Harvard’s Program on Negotiation, will help entrepreneurs understand and learn how to manage relationships to lead to entrepreneurial success. Topics that will be covered include:

- Why do most startups fail?
- What are the challenges in corporate-to-startup partnerships?
- How should you deal with the critical entrepreneurship challenges of complexity, uncertainty, long-term relationships, emotions and egos?
