Hardball negotiators often conceal their aggressive intentions and behaviors. They use tactics that prey on the psychological vulnerabilities of a counterpart. This psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that classic power theorists have espoused for centuries as a way to change the perception or behavior of others. If you are a potential victim of a predatory negotiator, you need to prepare defensive strategies. You have the right to be taken seriously and be heard. Four possible action steps include: 1. Ignore the manipulation tactic, 2. Discuss the tactics, 3. Respond in kind and 4. Lead the other.

Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
