Learn to Work Together

Never tell the other person, "I'm creative. I will come up with a solution." Instead suggest, "Surely we can creatively resolve this issue." If you have an idea, say, "You may have given me an idea earlier." If you are fresh out of ideas, ask, "Do any ideas come to your mind?"

Finally, whether it's selling or negotiating, resolve that you are going to study your craft at least once each year. Read a book or attend a seminar. Smug self-satisfaction is an insidious disease.
