Logos Web Site Offers New Tools for Wise Leadership

and Effective Negotiation

(http://www.LogosNet.com)

Sausalito, CA: Julian Gresser, international lawyer, negotiator, and multinational business consultant, has distilled his knowledge—decades of wisdom about negotiating in such tricky business arenas as Japan, China, India, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe—into a method he calls Logos^TM. Now with his partner, computer expert, Tod Brannan, Gresser has put Logos on the Net!

Corporate executives can use the tools created by Gresser and Brannan to become more skilled negotiators and effective leaders. These tools include seminars, software that is a personal "virtual coach," and an Internet-based Electronic Dojo (meaning "training hall" in Japanese) where members can hone their negotiating skills—and their intellects —to razor sharpness.

The key to success in negotiations, says Gresser, is Integrity, and on this concept he has founded the Logos method. In the mid-1990s, a decade when Fortune magazine reports that American business leaders are desperately searching for the key to "moral transformation," Gresser's methodology shines like a beacon in the storm.

"Integrity," says Gresser, "provides us with our foundation in life—a sense of connectedness, coherence, wholeness, and adaptive vitality. It is a powerful basis for all our negotiations. Using this principle, we teach participants in our public and in-house workshops to build highly efficient negotiating teams who share a common code of communication and method of operation. Then using our Logos computer software—The Artful Navigator^TM—as a virtual coach, our teams learn to coordinate decisions and accelerate their mastery of the method anywhere in the world."

The Logos WEB site offers a tantalizing array of information aperitifs, all prepared to help users understand the Logos method. There is an "Integrity Puzzle"; a "Breaking News" feature, offering Gresser's analysis of international business and political events; entertaining excerpts from Gresser's book on the Logos method, Piloting Through Chaos: Wise Leadership • Effective Negotiation for the 21st Century (Five Rings Press, 1995); and inspirational anecdotes that teach the "martial art" of negotiation.

A varied audience —including busy CEOs with little time to spend at the computer, corporate managers and their teams—will discover in only a few minutes at LogosNet a fresh way of thinking and useful tools that will give them an edge in any negotiation. The "edge" comes from the practical lessons of mega-business coups—such as the time Gresser helped a San Francisco-based trading company transform its $8 million after-tax branch into a $1 billion Japanese company in seven years.

A former Visiting Mitsubishi Professor at the Harvard Law School, Gresser now devotes all his time to teaching the Logos method in seminars offered by Logos Networks Corporation worldwide. Net users can find detailed descriptions, times, and places for all Logos seminars on the WEB site.

Gresser says that any person applying the Logos method can become an artful navigator in the coming decades of chaos. "The Logos WEB site and our products and services can serve as a lighthouse of wisdom, offering users an alternative to the run-of-the-mill Net cacophony, and opening the gates to a new SuperHighway of Wisdom."

Top Execs Study the Japanese Negotiation Code

and Train for Advantage

Seminar by Logos Networks Corporation

March 7, 1996 in San Francisco

Sausalito, CA: Last week the U.S. government filed its first formal complaint against Japan with the World Trade Organization for Japan's alleged failure to extend retroactive protection for musical recordings. Unnoticed by the U.S. negotiators who sparked this most recent round of wrangle with Japan is a secret code of negotiation -- comprising over a hundred moves -- which the Japanese government and most Japanese companies deploy time and again to seize the advantage. "No code exists," one senior U.S. official stated definitively on the eve of President Clinton's inauguration. "No one succeeds with Japan, you know that. Anyone who can deserves a monument in Arlington National Cemetery!"

With this attitude in Washington, a group of senior business executives have resolved to take back control by forming a dojo (Japanese for martial arts training hall) to study the code and practice a new form of negotiation jujitsu invented by former Harvard Mitsubishi Professor of Law and international attorney, Julian Gresser. The next seminar by Logos Networks Corporation will take place March 7, 1996 at the University Club in San Francisco.

Three things are unique about the method. First, the group is training in a new mode of action -- called The Five Rings^TM -- a method which puts academic notions of win-win aside and focuses instead on developing inner power, vitality, and adaptability based on what Gresser calls the "principle of integrity." Second, Gresser and his partner, computer designer/engineer, Tod Brannan, have invented a computer program, The Artful Navigator^TM, which can serve the members and their teams around the world as an Executive Coach. "The Japanese have a blind spot," Gresser notes, "in that they fail to recognize the power of groupware linked to a tested method of effective action. In the traditional Japanese office, people work face-to-face in groups and therefore most senior Japanese executives believe they have nothing to learn from groupware." Finally, the live dojo in San Francisco is interlinked to a new Electronic Dojo on the Internet called LogosNet^TM, whereby members in San Francisco will join other players in the United States, England, Sweden, Norway, and even Japan, all of whom today are learning The Five Rings method.

"What are the benefits of this kind of training?" Gresser was asked. "A tested, no-nonsense method (described at length in Gresser's new book, Piloting Through Chaos: Wise Leadership - Effective Negotiation for the 21st Century (Five Rings Press, 1996)) and a new way of using the computer and the Internet for tactical advantage," he responded laconically.

And then he added, "The Japanese code represents a style of negotiation that you will also see in Korea, China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, India, and even in Eastern Europe. If you can understand this model, you have the key to carrying out your business objectives profitably in all the other high risk, high growth areas of the world."
