Gary Noesner is the former Chief of the FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit and author of “Stalling for Time: My Life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator” which was the basis of “Waco,” a Netflix miniseries. In 2003, Gary retired from his role after thirty years and became Senior Vice President at Control Risks, an international risk consultancy, assisting clients in managing overseas kidnap incidents. During our chat, we discuss the traits of good negotiators, why leadership skills are critical for successful negotiations, and why organisations must recognise the importance of negotiation – no matter what industry they are in.
