Story
Can you match the line length?
In one experiment group, subjects (confederates) and actual subject (participant) were recruited.
Each participant was placed with seven confederates. The actual subject was unaware of confederates.
The group was shown a card with one line (X) of some length. This card was followed with another card consisting of three lines (A,B,C) .
Each subject was to say their answer loudly which length (A, B or C) matched with first card length (X).
Confederates were advised to respond first and were told to answer wrongly. Once the confederates had answered, the actual subject was asked to match the lines and tell his answer.
Will the actual subject be able to answer correctly?

Negotiation is an important life skill
Negotiation is also a game, the more you play and practice, the better you get. Learn and prepare negotiation to reduce anxiety. Like any other skill, it can be mastered.
· Negotiation skills are learnable · You need to know the concept & principles · You need to apply the principles & practice the game · You should get feedback after each negotiation to improve
Last but not the least, seek negotiation and don’t avoid it. When you do buy or sell an asset or join a new job, negotiations are part of the whole process. Prepare for negotiations and don't avoid.
Negotiation is an information game, a conversational dance where we exchange offers...back and forth…offers and counteroffers to benefit mutually.
