Overview
If you are working on any kind of negotiations right now, from a business deal to where to go eat dinner, let other people take the lead. Things could get tense, and tension is the last thing you need right now. Instead, shift your focus away from talking and just observe. You will learn a lot about how these other people think, which could come in handy the next time there is a disagreement. Sometimes you learn about how the game is played by watching from the sidelines.
