Four Strategies. One Negotiator.
Wendeen became a successful negotiator in the executive search and leadership coaching industries using four key negotiating strategies:
- 1.Operating with the goods
- 2.Operating with a marginal edge
- 3.Operating with potential based on accurate calculation of risk against rewards
- 4.Acting with information after others have declared where they stand
She further sharpened her business and poker negotiations based on her understanding that bluffing is an overrated strategy — and that women can win more by bluffing less.
