A leader who pays careful attention to that fact and includes more people who are going to be better armed to avoid unintended consequences.

belief that a team is not successful without its team members. In my field, a successful team is comprised of individuals who are dedicated, experienced, motivated and supported by management. A1a.

First of all, before engaging in a negotiation, you have to clearly know what the ultimate goal is for the negotiation and all those bargaining skills and tactics should centre on the objective of the negotiation. Second, knowing your negotiation partner well is extremely important and could play a significant role in reaching the goal. Comparing to my prior knowledge, knowing your partner of the negotiation is definitely a noticeable oversight.
