Last minute penalty demand by customer
The CEO of a construction company is in discussion with a buyer, who wants the construction company to build an office space.
The CEO almost clinches the deal when, the buyer makes a last minute demand.
The buyer asks the CEO to include a penalty clause in the contract, that would require the builder to pay a hefty penalty if the building delivery is delayed by more than a month.
The CEO is infuriated with this last minute demand.
How would you as a seller respond to this new last minute penalty demand?

Deliberate practice improves our success in an interview
Practice is the act of carrying out an activity again and again, to gain mastery over an activity. Psychologist Professor Anders Ericsson coined the term deliberate practice. Talent is important but it is the deliberate practice which makes an ordinary man into extra-ordinary person.
Deliberate practice is purposeful and systematic. You need to have a specific goal, stay focussed, avoid distractions, follow a regular practice schedule, and step up the game in terms of tougher challenges, enable correct feedback to build and gain mastery. Breaking down a task and improving small chunks through regular practice with immediate and correct feedback helps hone the expertise. Deliberate practice is learning by doing and stepping into an uncomfortable zone.
