The sharp shooter
In a three person sequential gun battle the bad shooter (B) can hit about one third of targets correctly. The second person (M) is somewhat better with a 50% hit rate. The third shooter(D) is really dangerous, who can hit 100% correctly.
First to shoot will be with lower hit rate i.e. the shooting order will be B, M and D. The battle will continue till there is only one survivor.
The bad shooter (B) hires you as his advisor. What should he do to maximize his chance of survival?

Negotiation is an important life skill
We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.
If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.
“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
