My parents had a rule that the loudest one was always wrong. I haven't used it, but I think there's some wisdom there...
LOL. That's pretty good. It does have some truth for sure. I went to a training in the fall and there was a similar quote that I can't quite remember. It was something like "the first one to yell is the first one to run out of options."
LOL.
DW has been working on a contract for several weeks now. She told me tonight that:
"If someone from the other side leaves happy after a negotiation, then I left something on the table. The deal is best when neither side is happy."
Has some truth to it.
