Winning matters.
How you win matters too.

The Right Way does not mean negotiating softly.

Elite Negotiators pursue ambitious outcomes. They use legitimate power, anchor deliberately, protect information, challenge assumptions, trade conditionally and know when to walk away.

But they don't manufacture a false reality, make commitments they don't intend to honour, or sacrifice tomorrow's reputation for today's win.

Be tough on value.
Be disciplined with information.
Never manufacture a false reality.
