Comments on: Negotiation … One on One, or is it a Team Sport? http://www.zoomstart.com/negotiation-one-on-one/ Start Something Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:11:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: stinson http://www.zoomstart.com/negotiation-one-on-one/#comment-4363 stinson Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:31:23 +0000 http://www.zoomstart.com/negotiation-one-on-one/#comment-4363 I like the fact that this post puts emphasis on having a team of partners who are in sync with each other. It is important to construct a good team who are all tuned to the same channel, and each person knows their role. One very simple, yet empowering piece of advice I recently got was when a successful business man asked me, "What is the most important rule of negotiation?" When I didn't know the answer he said, "Always be willing to walk away." It seems obvious to me now, but at the time it was not. This has become one of the most important lessons I have learned.
