You can reach an important compromise in a power struggle with an authority figure if you follow the path of least resistance. But this isn't the same as giving in to them -- you will soon see that your goals can align if you simply make a slight modification.

Being more flexible and adopting a more long-term vision will put you in a better position to negotiate in the future.
