Elections in India are not contests between personalities. They are ultimately battles involving political parties; promises and pledges that political parties make; the vision and programmes that political parties bring to the table.

Benjamin Netanyahu

Negotiating with the Taliban must be done from a position of strength. Negotiating from a position of weakness would be a disaster.

We have people that are political hacks negotiating our trade deals.

Donald Trump

A lot of deals are done or not done because chief executives are not fully aligned to shareholders.

Negotiating isn't about getting what you want or giving in to what the other party wants. It's not an 'either/or situation.' It's about having both parties walk away satisfied. Over the years in both business and life, I've had to learn this hard lesson.

I've considered myself a writer since I was 7 years old, but I've done a lot of jobs along the way. I enjoyed waiting tables and tending bar during college, especially when it got busy, so I might like managing a big restaurant. In fact, I might like managing many kinds of businesses or organizations.
