Learn to take the heat off in critical situations.

Disagreements, discussions and differences in opinion derail when negotiations do not take place or are conducted unprofessionally. Parties then engage less with each other, the distance between them grows, the cordial tonality changes to the point of heated disputes or the silent treatment.

Escalations often have too high a price for the involved parties, for the project, for the cooperation. Those who understand the motifs of their opponents, even the hidden ones, will be able to act more effectively and avoid unnecessary damage to the project, business and to the business relationship.
