Gary Noesner - Waco, Negotiation, and the Paradox of Power

Gary Noesner spent more than 30 years with the FBI, served as Chief of the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit, led negotiations during the Waco siege, helped reshape modern hostage negotiation training, and authored the influential book Stalling for Time. In this conversation, Gary and I explore what actually works when people are at their worst. We discuss the lessons of Waco, why negotiation should almost always take precedence over force, how empathy differs from agreement, the psychology of trust, what makes a great negotiator, the dangers of authority without self-control, and how active listening can transform everything from hostage situations to everyday relationships.
