Hangover = Negotiation Gold

Hangover = Negotiation Gold

By Craig Childs on negotiation

 
 

Negotiations are funny and I'll always take any advice regarding the subject. Add the idea that it may be better to drink the night before a big negotiation, and I'm all ears.

Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten recalls a situation where his lawyer suggested this theory:

The unpleasant physical effects following the heavy use of alcohol actually work to your advantage during a tough negotiation. Seemingly uninterested you will be slouched in your chair, responding slowly and talking softly and looking generally unhappy with whatever the other party proposes.

Your move, coffee.
