Top CEOs, advisors to heads of state, and even former supermodel Tyra Banks turn to Harvard's Deepak Malhotra for advice. The master negotiator is a sought-after instructor, and MBAs have tapped him twice to present the end-of-year lecture. His attributes his success at the bargaining table and in the classroom to empathy, "the No. 1 quality of a great negotiator," and even attends undergraduate courses in different disciplines to maintain the perspective of a student.

頂級高管、國家元首顧問甚至是前超級名模泰拉班克斯都在向哈佛大學（Harvard）的迪帕克馬爾霍特拉咨詢意見。這位談判大師同時也是位深受歡迎的教師，工商管理碩士曾經兩次請求他出席年終講座。他把自己在談判桌和課堂上的成功歸功于換位思考，作為“排名首位的談判大師”，他還講授不同學科的本科生課程，以便始終保持從學生的角度看問題。
