Perfect for you if...

  • You're stuck in a repeating clash at work or home where talking it out never seems to work, no matter how hard you try.
  • You're curious about the hidden patterns driving your conflicts and want practical tools to actually change them.
  • You've read management or psychology books and want something grounded in real consulting experience, not just theory.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for quick conflict fixes or shortcuts; this requires honest reflection about your own role in the cycle.
  • You prefer books heavy on research citations and academic depth over client stories and personal narrative.
  • You believe most conflicts just need better communication skills and stronger collaboration efforts.

About this book

Optimal Outcomes presents a method for resolving conflicts that have resisted traditional approaches. The book includes reflection exercises to help identify hidden patterns in recurring clashes. Dr. Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler draws on her training at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, two decades of consulting with Fortune 500 companies and senior leadership teams, work with Middle East leaders, US government-funded research on terrorism, and her course at Columbia University. She introduces eight practices designed to help people move beyond conflict. Through case studies and personal examples, the book teaches readers to observe complex situations clearly, identify shadow values (priorities previously unacknowledged), and take decisive action. The method aims to help readers reach their Optimal Outcome—a resolution that may differ from initial expectations but prove more satisfying than anticipated.
